They just delivered a fantastic quarter recently and has rallied 6% since then as the market rotates to healthcare.

Lots of development can happen in the area of medical devices. Great business. Keeps people out of hospitals. These companies should do well over the next while, as medical solutions move away from being drug-centred. Prefers SYK.
