| Looking specifically at the company's overall medical device portfolio, some of the notable 2007 product introductions included the V-Link Luer-activated device with VitalShield protective coating (the first needleless W connector containing an antimicrobial coating) and the Gelfoam Plus Hemostasis Kit (for control of bleeding during surgical procedures).
