and General Manager of Moog.

“What motivates me about the healthcare industry is the opportunity to help so many people by using my experience, expertise, and skills to continually improve our products and services. I use these same skills to help improve the efficiency of our operations and thereby increase the value of our business to employees, suppliers, communities, and shareholders.”

IMPACTFUL PERFORMANCE

T

he healthcare industry in the US has been in a constant state of flux due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The system has been under stress for many reasons, and supply chain disruptions at all levels have prevailed.

However, at the end of the day, it’s deeply rewarding for Moog

Medical (Moog) to be designing, producing, and distributing products and services that provide relief to many people afflicted with various maladies.

“It’s even more rewarding to provide many of our products worldwide; we touch a lot of lives across the planet,” states Mike Henderson, Vice President

Moog is the medical device division of Moog Inc., whose advanced motion control products are designed and manufactured for aerospace, defense, industrial, and medical applications where precise control of velocity, force, acceleration, and fluid flow are critical.

For over 20 years, Moog has designed proven, reliable, and easyto-use infusion pumps and enteral feeding pumps that provide precise and steady fluid delivery.

“We are the second-largest enteral feeding pumps and sets company in the world when we combine our own domestic Moog-branded products with our original equipment manufacturer (OEM) products produced for three of the world’s largest clinical food companies,” acclaims Henderson.

Advancing the delivery of infusion therapy, Moog’s industry-leading infusion pump expertise and collaboration with customers and patients continue to benefit the delivery of healthcare and enhance patient and caregiver outcomes.

Moog’s enteral feeding pumps, meanwhile, have enabled both pediatric and adult tube-fed patients to follow prescribed feeding regimes.

Powerful enough to use in a hospital and lightweight enough for patients to wear at home or on the go, these pumps deliver personalized nutrition anytime, anywhere.
