LivaNova PLC

Sector: Healthcare

Industry: Medical Devices

UK-based LivaNova was born of a combination between Cyberonics in the us and Sorin in Italy. The medical-device firm is primarily focused on cardiopulmonary solutions (with heart-lung machines and oxygenation equipment) as well as neuromodulation devices for treatment-resistant epilepsy and depression. Following the merger, LivaNova divested its cardiac rhythm management and heart valve businesses. It derives roughly half of its revenue from the us market, another 21% from Europe, and the remainder from the rest of the world.
