Sherwood Medical

Sherwood Medical was a prominent American medical device manufacturer specializing in a wide range of clinical products including syringes, needles, catheters, and enteral feeding systems. Originally a subsidiary of American Home Products, the company became a leader in the hospital supply market through brands such as Monoject, Argyle, and Kangaroo. In 1998, it was merged with Davis & Geck and subsequently acquired by Tyco International for approximately $1.77 billion. Today, its legacy products and technologies are integrated into the portfolio of Medtronic following a series of corporate acquisitions. The company's contributions to medical technology, particularly in sterile disposables and nutritional delivery, remain foundational in modern clinical practice.
