Atrion Corporation

	Nasdaq: ATRI	Change symbol:

PROFILE The metamorphosis is nearly complete: Atrion is almost out of the energy business. The company now makes such medical products as ophthalmic, diagnostic, and cardiovascular equipment. Its MPS (myocardial protection system) manages fluid delivery to the heart during open-heart surgery; the FDA has also approved the use of MPS for "beating-heart surgery" (when the heartbeat is not interrupted). Subsidiary Halkey-Roberts makes valves and clamps that regulate fluids and gases used in both hospital and outpatient care. Another subsidiary, Quest Medical, makes cardiovascular and intravenous fluid delivery products. Atrion's lone link to its past is a 22-mile pipeline that transports gaseous oxygen in Alabama.  COMPETITION Alcon Laboratories, Inc. (dossier) Baxter International Inc. (BAX) Coherent, Inc.
