Bard is engaged in the design, manufacture, packaging, distribution and sale of medical, surgical, diagnostic and patient care devices. The company sells a broad range of products worldwide to hospitals, individual healthcare professionals, extended care facilities and alternate site facilities. The company reports its sales in four major product group categories: vascular, urology, oncology and surgical specialties. Bard's line of minimally invasive vascular products includes percutaneous transluminal angioplasty catheters and accessories, peripheral vascular stents and stent grafts, vena cava filters and biopsy devices; electrophysiology products; and fabrics, meshes and implantable vascular grafts. The Foley catheter, which Bard's urology group introduced in 1934, remains one of the most important products in the urology field. These include specialty access catheters, ports, vascular access ultrasound devices and feeding devices. Bard's surgical specialty products include patches and fixation systems for hernia and other soft tissue repairs, irrigation devices for orthopaedic, laparoscopic and gynecological procedures and products for topical hemostasis.
