We would like to obtain a list of large companies that have strong
manufacturing and strong marketing capabilities in a specific niche of
the surgical supplies industry.

These companies must be marketing and manufacturing products like
antiseptics, topical antibiotics or surgical bandages to hospitals
and operating rooms.

Nationwide or worldwide presence is best.  Public or private is ok. 
What companies meet the above criteria?

We dont want companies that only sell outside of the US.  They should
have a strong US presence, and worldwide reach is secondary.  Another
product that these companies may manufacture / market are surgical
adhesives that keep bandages in place (Compound Tincture of Benzoin,
Mastisol).
