Smith & Nephew can't make you hip, but it can make you "a" hip. Focusing on orthopedics, wound care, and endoscopy, the firm makes products to repair joints, skin, soft tissue, and bone. Its joint products include Synergy hip and Genesis knee replacements; its bone-repair products include plates, screws, casts, splints, and supportive wraps. Smith & Nephew also makes arthroscopes, blades, and shavers and other products for endoscopic surgery. In addition to making bandages and treatments for wounds, the company is developing the Dermagraft skin regeneration system (made by Advanced Tissue Sciences) which treats diabetics' foot ulcers.
