It all started back in 1954. Nurse Elise Sørensen was concerned by the dramatic change in her sister’s lifestyle following an ostomy operation. Thora no longer dared to go out, fearing that her stoma would leak in public. Elise was determined to help her sister out of her isolation. She developed the world’s first ostomy bag.
Today, our business includes ostomy care, continence care, surgical urology, wound care and skin care. In all these areas, we are guided by Elise's passion and commitment with a mission to make life easier for people with intimate healthcare needs.
We employ 10,000 people, are represented in 42 countries and our products are being sold in 136 countries.
In 2013 and 2014 Forbes ranked us one of the world’s most innovative companies.
