Our Name

Halyard suggests progress: our effort to advance health and healthcare by preventing infection, eliminating pain, and speeding recovery. As a word, halyard is distinct, easy to pronounce, and memorable. As a name, Halyard carries many positive connotations and can be a strong metaphor for many aspects of our brand and business:

• As a halyard raises a ship’s sails – we seek to raise the bar and the standards and quality of healthcare
