History[edit]
In 1932, Rudolph Beaver started the company and developed first Beaver blades and handles. John Beaver became Company resident in 1953 and developed Beaver Mini blades®. BD acquired BEAVER in 1988, then Visitec Inc (cannulas manufacturing founded in 1979).
BVI was created when BD separated from its ophthalmology branch [1]. The same year after its creation, BVI acquired Medtronic and Medical Apen. BVI then made the following acquisitions:
In 2016 Beaver Visitec International (BVI) is acquired by American investment company TPG Capital [4] [5].
