Minneapolis, USA.

"Balanced growth across the corporation was again led by implantable defibrillators and spinal products", said Art Collins, chairman and chief executive officer of Medtronic. "Very solid growth momentum has continued throughout the year and reflects the impact of the investments which have been made and that are continuing. As a result, the corporation is well positioned to maintain strong financial performance going forward."
