ICU Medical is an American medical company based in San Clemente, California. It was founded in 1984 by George Lopez. From the outset, the company has focused on developing and implementing innovative medical equipment in the field of vascular therapy.
The history of the creation of safe medical equipment by ICU Medical
The impetus for founding the company was an incident experienced by its founder. George Lopez, a licensed internist, lost a patient after an accidental disconnection of an intravenous infusion delivering life-saving medication. This prompted him to establish his own company focused on producing safe medical equipment. The first product was the ClickLock, which consisted of a needle and a closed housing. This design prevented accidental disconnection of the line, significantly enhancing patient safety.
