Competitors

The competitive landscape for Medical is complex as we compete with different business sectors across the wide range of product areas. Our competitors include Covidien, Teleflex/Arrow, B Braun, Becton Dickinson, Hospira, Cardinal (Alaris), Vital Signs, Medtronic among many others. In many of these examples, we only compete with a small portion of their medical businesses so comparison between peers is complex.
