Intellectual Property
Habley Medical Technology was founded in 1982 in
California and has been issued over 440 U.S. patents in the medical
technology field, ranging from specialty implant and safety needle and
syringe devices, to safety blood collection devices to one of its most
recent products, the puncture evident glove. Habley patents have been
licensed and sold outright to major pharmaceutical and medical device
corporations all over the United States, including AMGEN, Monsanto, Becton
Dickinson, Eli Lilly, Baxter and Ethicon, for worldwide use. In fact,
chances are that when you go down to the doctor to have your blood
collected, the device used is most likely a Habley invention.
