 PROFILE
Bio-Plexus makes medical safety products. Its main product, the Punctur-Guard, is a patented safety needle that blunts itself before its removal from the patient, reducing the risk of accidental needle sticks. Additional products include Drop-It needle holders and a needle-disposal container. A unit of Johnson & Johnson makes an intravenous catheter that uses the company's safety needle technology; Bio-Plexus is also developing other specialty needles. The company has distribution deals with several firms, including Allegiance and Owens & Minor. Bio-Plexus emerged from Chapter 11 bankruptcy with the help of some investment from Appaloosa Management, which owns more than half of the firm.
