Becton-Dickinson

BD is a medical technology company that manufactures and sells a broad range of supplies, devices, and systems for use by health care professionals, medical research institutions, industry, and the general public. We focus strategically on achieving growth in three worldwide business segments - BD Medical Systems, BD Biosciences, and BD Preanalytical Solutions. Our products are marketed in the United States both through independent distribution channels and directly to end-users. Our products are marketed outside the United States through independent distribution channels, and sales representatives, and, in some markets, directly to end-users. We are a leader in a number of platforms in the Biosciences segment. In the last few years, we made key acquisitions in the areas of immunology, cell biology, and molecular biology. Growth in research products is driven by the expansion in genomic research and increased pharmaceutical and government spending in this area. In the Preanalytical segment, we have strong market-leading positions. We also have opportunities for further growth in this segment. For example, nearly half of the world's population lives in medical markets that do not currently use evacuated blood collection systems, one of our principal products in this segment.
