Our Story
Writing the book on innovation and excellence...
In 2000, Mike & Stacy Gauthier, husband and wife engineers, founded Gauthier Biomedical and began doing small, custom work for OEMs.
Early on they saw an unmet need for excellence in the orthopedic instrument marketplace. The Gauthier's used this opportunity to define their engineering expertise and focused their new company on developing several brand-new technologies like the "No-Play" ratcheting screwdriver and torque limiting instruments that could fill the needs of the market.
Demand for the Gauthier Advantage increased as customers finally had access to high-quality, innovative technology that had not previously been available. Today our customers take advantage of our more than 50 proprietary design technologies and our ability to give them unmatched style and individualization.
