I think that St. Jude Medical, Inc. should be added to the list of major competitors.
Source: Yahoo Finance: BSX Company Profile. St. Jude is listed along with
Medtronic,Inc., and Johnson & Johnson. Why is there not more information about this
company? Jcook5 (talk) 13:44, 28 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ray Elliot is the new CEO as of July 13, 2009. Additionally, Paul Laviolette left the company at the end of 2008 to join SV Life Sciences.Pelle412 (talk) 19:36, 14 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hank Kucheman is the acting CEO according to this. Also, I think the $600,000 fine doesn't belong in a short article. Its prominence implies that you really need to know this about the company. If it included a link comparing the number of similar fines by companies of this size, only then would be appropriate. Witnessforpeace (talk)
