Headquartered in Mansfield, Massachusetts, USA, Kendall markets a broad range of wound care, needles and syringes, vascular therapy, urological care, incontinence care and other products to hospitals and alternate site customers. The Kendall-LTP division also offers Devon operating room products, obstetric and neonatal products, personal protection and safety products and imaging supplies, and is an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) for other medical device companies.

Covidien’s Medical Supplies segment - Offers traditional wound care products, absorbent hygiene products and operating room kits and accessories, and is also an OEM of medical supplies. The A&E business which was previously part of this division was sold in fiscal 2006 for gross proceeds of US$6 million.
