At Ethicon Endo-Surgery, Inc., our vision for the future of medicine and minimally invasive procedures can be summed up in one sentence:

Transforming patient care through innovation.

Drawing from the experience of surgeons from around the world and from our own expertise, we strive to create innovative surgical products that are smarter and more efficient. That cause less tissue damage and are more intuitive to use. And that provide measurable results in terms of high value and lower overall costs for health care.

We think it's important to give payors a closer look at new technologies and minimally invasive procedures that are coming down the road. Here are some of the exciting and innovative treatment modalities we are currently developing:

• Potential technologies related to metabolic disorders and surgery.
• Advanced minimally invasive surgery including single site laparotomy, micro laparatomy and hybrid laparotomy.
