BTG
FinnCap reiterated its “sell” rating on the healthcare company, following news that the FDA has approved VenaSeal, a surgical glue used to treat varicose veins, from rival firm Covidien. The broker noted that Covidien has “an established sales force much larger than that to which BTG could aspire”.
