Zacks Market Commentaries (October 7th, 2009) Writes:

Baylis was founded by Gloria Baylis (a registered nurse) in Montreal in 1986. In addition, to pain management products, the company also makes high-tech medical devices for cardiology and radiology.

The Nasdaq lost 2.0% on the week to close at 2090, up 32.6% on the year, while the S&P 500 and Russell 2000 posted losses of 2.2% and 3.1% respectively, paring their yearly gains to 15.6% and 19.9%.
