Medical Products Research & Development

Our innovations in medical products spread across our diversified products, businesses and therapeutic areas. In addition to Abbott’s success in pharmaceutical research, we also are focused on discovering and developing new technologies for medical devices, diagnostics and nutritional products. Research and development (R&D) in each of these independent, technology-driven businesses is crucial for success, as the company that pinpoints emerging patient needs – and best responds to them – will have the greatest opportunity to make a difference in the lives of patients.
