Who are we?

Silver Lion Innovations is a startup medical device company which exists to transform the lives of people facing immobility across multiple health conditions and the people involved in their care.

Healthcare systems globally need innovative technologies created by people using them so that they can continue the care for the growing number of those requiring it.

At Silver Lion Innovations, we have reimagined a key care service with game changing new technology and we need excellent, stand out people on board to deliver the first in a range of products.
