Our Company
Blink DC was founded to develop the next-generation of quantitative neuromuscular monitoring and empower adoption as a standard of care. We are driven by product excellence and customer satisfaction. We are a privately-held company, accountable only to ourselves and the anesthesia providers who use our products—not shareholders and a bottom line.
