Becton, Dickinson and Co

Becton, Dickinson through its BD Medical business segment produces a wide array of medical technologies for health providers. BD Medical has four major business units:

• Diabetes Care makes syringes, pen needles and IV sets;
• Medication and Procedural Solutions offers needles, syringes and intravenous catheters for medication delivery – and much more;
• Medication Management Solutions makes intravenous medication safety and infusion therapy delivery systems;
• Pharmaceutical Systems creates refillable drug delivery systems for pharmaceutical companies.

Plans for a $24 billion merger with C. R. Bard, expected to close this year, should make BD even more of a major presence in the medical device industry.
