Hansen Medical helps doctors maneuver through matters of the heart. The company develops medical devices designed to diagnose and treat atrial fibrillation, a common type of cardiac arrhythmia. Its core portable Sensei system (used along with its Artisan catheters) incorporates robotics to assist in guiding the movement of flexible catheters in such places as the atria and ventricles. Sensei has received FDA and European regulatory approval for certain uses, including manipulation and mapping of catheters during electrophysiology procedures (to diagnose irregular electrical impulses in the heart); the product is awaiting clearance for use in more delicate ablation procedures in the treatment of arrhythmia.

HemCon Medical Technologies has been a boon to US soldiers wounded on the battlefield. The company's proprietary HemCon bandages and ChitoFlex dressings stop bleeding in trauma patients; in fact, the dressing becomes adhesive upon contact with blood and can prevent hemorrhage. HemCon bandages are made from chitosan, a polysaccharide derived from dried shrimp shells and known for its clotting abilities. Besides the military, its products are used by first responders, oral surgeons, and hospitals. The company was founded in 2001 with partial funding from the US Army; HemCon bandages are now part of every Army medic's standard kit.

The sole operating subsidiary of Hill-Rom Holdings, Hill-Rom also rents medical equipment, such as infusion pumps and ventilators.
