“An innovative medical devices business, operating in the global market place, specialising in the rapid development of new concept devices that provide a helping hand for today’s ward staff”.

Zimed Ltd. was founded in April 1999 to exploit the opportunities presented by a range of medical devices being developed by George Gallagher.

The company's first product, Red-Eye™ is a globally patented method and apparatus for monitoring intravenous drips. In the year 2000, in record time, the device gained regulatory approval. In 2001 George Gallagher presented the Red-Eye™ monitor on the BBC's Tomorrow's World programme and won the Inventor of the Year Award for Health Innovation. In 2003 a worldwide distribution agreement for this product was signed with one of the largest international healthcare companies, Baxter Healthcare Corporation.

Zimed Ltd. continues to extend its range of products following the same theme of safe fluid delivery. A family of syringe drivers has been developed which utilises a new, patented method of back pressure detection. Also, a range of fluid delivery consumables specialising in needle-free systems has been added to the portfolio. It is the company's intention to seek further partnering arrangements to exploit these products on a commercial basis.
