Dräger’s long history in Anesthesia

"It all started 150 years ago: in 1846 it first became possible for patients to have their teeth extracted under anesthesia. This original „ether intoxication“ was the beginning of anesthesia technology, a development which has continued to the present day – to our modern anesthesia workstations. Dräger’s name has been closely linked with advances in this „medical discipline“ for over 100 years. The development of Dräger anesthetic machines showed the way forward. We are especially indebted to the inventive initiative of company founder, Heinrich Dräger, and his son, and my grandfather, Bernhard, for their pioneering, technical innovations. It was they who laid the foundations for the world-wide reputation our anesthetic machines enjoy today. We know from information from hospitals in Germany and abroad that, true to our motto, „Technology for Life“, many Dräger machines have been in use for over 30 years. Today, the medical world continues to associate Dräger products with ongoing technological development and innovative solutions to problems for doctor and patient alike. Dräger means reliability and quality. We are proud of that legacy, to which we also commit ourselves for the future."
