United States Surgical Corporation develops, manufactures and markets a range of technologically advanced surgical products to hospitals throughout the world. For nearly 30 years, USSC has led in sales of surgical staplers. More recently, we pioneered the development of stapling instrumentation for minimally invasive surgery and entered the suture business. Throughout this time, our guiding principles have remained the same: an entrepreneurial spirit, a dedication to excellence and vigilant attention to the needs of our customers.

USSC is a multinational company with sales exceeding $1 billion. Our growing portfolio of products, training programs and consulting services help provide advanced surgical care and reduce costs.

USSC was founded in 1964 to develop a new product--the surgical stapler. Today, our product lines include technologically advanced surgical staplers, instrumentation for minimally invasive surgery and sutures.

USSC was built on innovation and today, more than ever, we are committed to innovation, both in existing businesses and in new areas of opportunity.
