Covidien – formerly Tyco Healthcare

Covidien is our new company name resulting from the separation from Tyco International in July 2007, and marks a new direction for us as an independent global company focused exclusively on healthcare. The Covidien brands you have trusted for years remain the same – AutoSuture, Kendall, Mallinckrodt, Nellcor, Puritan Bennett, Valleylab and more, are all part of Covidien’s legacy and future.

From sutures to ventilators, and from syringes to energy-based vessel sealing systems, Medical Devices is Covidien's largest and most diverse business segment. Our product range includes:

• surgical devices
• energy-based devices
• respiratory and monitoring solutions
• patient care and safety products

Applied Medical is a new generation, quality-focused organisation with a goal of providing exceptionally innovative surgical products that enhance procedures and patient outcomes both clinically and economically.

We address evolving clinical and economic needs through innovative practices and technology. We are a highly integrated developer, manufacturer and marketer of specialised devices for Minimally Invasive Surgery, and General Surgery. www.appliedmedical.com
