We support patients, clinicians, and physicians through the latest scientific research, technology development, educational resources, attentive customer service, community involvement, and more.

AB evolved from two highly successful companies that developed and marketed innovative medical devices; one created new generation pacemakers, and the other developed microinfusion systems (miniature drug delivery pumps used in the treatment of diabetes). Our talented group of technologists and professionals from all over the world are driven to succeed, work with integrity, and stay firmly committed to quality.

Today, AB remains dedicated to improving lives by developing, manufacturing, and distributing the world’s most reliable, best performing cochlear implant system.
