Company founded
1984
CLI began in 1984 as an affiliate of Johnson & Johnson with the charter to develop a series of mechanical sector probes for its line of ultrasound scanners. Johnson & Johnson later divested itself of its ultrasound activities and soon thereafter the two lead design engineers, Paul Meyers and Julian Dow, formed CLI. CLI's first commercial OEM products were launched within the ophthalmic ultrasound market where CLI quickly became the world's leading supplier of ophthalmic imaging probes.
