Merit Medical: 1.2 TCR = 35% of Hypodermic needles and syringes manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Merit Medical safety composite

Merit Medical scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 58% of same-industry peers) and weakest on fatalities (safer than 50%), blended into one 0-100 breakdown against same-industry peers. A missing measure drops out and redistributes its weight rather than deflating the score. This is a per-dimension breakdown, distinct from the single letter grade above it (which weights TCR alone against the BLS industry benchmark).
