Hollister Incorporated is a medical supplies company founded in Chicago, Illinois, United States by John Dickinson Schneider in 1921 and now headquartered in Libertyville, Illinois since 1981.

Hollister Incorporated is an employee-owned global healthcare company, particularly focused on returning dignity, independence and self-respect to those who may have undergone life-changing events; including cancer, colorectal disease and spinal-cord injury. Hollister provides solutions to health care professionals and individual patients/users in the fields of ostomy, fecal and urine incontinence and wound care products.

Hollister is well known for their Plastibell circumcision device, which has probably been used on at least 50% of American men born since 1980.

Trivia

Robert Fisk mentions Hollister in chapter 22 of his recent work The Great War for Civilisation when narrating an incident occurred in the afghan village Hachbirgit during the American-led invasion of Afghanistan in 2002; Hachbirgit villagers were arrested, interrogated and identified via "Ident-A-Band Bracelet made by Hollister" prior to their definitive release. Nowadays Hollister's wristband identification product line belongs to Precision Dynamics Corporation, as [http://www.hollister.com/us/identification/ stated in Hollister's site] .
