PROFILE |
 |
For Medtronic, it's about control. The company's devices help regulate erratic heartbeats, tremors, and vascular diseases. About half of sales come from defibrillators and pacemakers, including devices for slow or rapid heartbeats. Subsidiary Medtronic Sofamor Danek makes spinal implant devices, mechanical and tissue heart valves, and drug-delivery systems, and its Medtronic Vascular unit makes catheters and stents. Medtronic Xomed makes surgical tools for ear, nose, and throat specialists. Medtronic is increasing its Internet presence through a partnership with WebMD and a global health exchange providing online product ordering (partners include Johnson & Johnson and GE Medical).
