The history of Waldemar Link GmbH & Co. KG stretches back to 1948. Even in those days, company founder Waldemar Link’s philosophy was: In order to deliver the highest quality, there cannot be any compromises, while new developments and progress have to serve physician, patient and the company in equal measure. Today, Helmut D. Link runs the company in the second generation – and in the same spirit. This firm conviction and the dedication of the staff at LINK, who number more than 1,200, have turned what was once a specialist supplier of hospital products into a pioneer and pacesetter in the field of arthroplasty. Consequently, LINK developed the first German total hip prosthesis, the St. George hip system, as early as 1963, thereby ushering in a new era in arthroplasty. Ever since then, the company has placed emphasis on close cooperation with partners in medical practice in order to develop optimal solutions, while the LINKademy provides specialist training for surgeons, orthopedists, and their surgical staff from orthopedic hospitals around the world.
