Can anyone tell me what are the top ten medical device companies in
the United States?  By top ten, let's assume annual revenue, unless
you have a better idea.  Thank you!

Hello.

1. Johnson & Johnson (JNJ)
2. GE Medical Systems

I hope this helps.

Hi,

I just went to the link and the page has disappeared.
http://biz.yahoo.com/ic/prof/29.html 

I have the list of companies you gave me, but did you by any chance
save the entire webpage?  Because it had some other helpful
information, like important people in the industry, etc.  Thank you.

Hi.

No, I don't save the page.  Very strange.  It seems that Yahoo has
deleted the page.

I think that I first got to the page via a link from one of the
company profile pages (e.g., Boston Scientific or Medtronic).
See:
http://finance.yahoo.com/q/in?s=BSX
I clicked on the link marked "More" under industry profile.  Now, that
page is gone.


Luckily, though, Google has a cache of the page:

Thank you!  Excellent work.
