Covidien up!

[Anonymous]

Covidien sales for the fourth quarter were UP 7% thanks largely to 12% operational growth in Surgical Solutions which saw strong demand for stapling and energy products.....

We, on the other hand......

yes indeed, COV is taking market ESC share no doubt. You should ask your DSM to see if you can receive the latest quarterly YOY domestic financials within the ESC business unit given your curiosity to better understand the latest trends in healthcare. It's all about "transparency", right?

Have crap, re-tread products.

Innovations that nobody really asked for. Gripping staplers? I've never seen tissue slip out of a PLE.

7+ It's an f'd up knockoff that I won't put my name behind until I know that we're actually going to have it. But then again, who the hell wants to take 7mm with harmonic or Soniscission? Nobody I want to be in the room with....

A strap-on for the curve tip? Add to count? nurses will love that....

We deserve to be losing share and until someone says all that matters is price, or our leadership gets us some decent breakthrough tech, it's going to continue.

Not sure I can stick around to find out which way it is going to go. This place blows!

If you are not happy why are you still around?

Everyone at COV will be busy taking care of themselves, not their business, in the next year. It is an excellent time for Ethicon to take more share.
