Item 2.     Acquisition or Disposition of Assets 

     On September 29, 1995, Auto Suture Japan Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary 
     of the Company, completed the final closing of the acquisition of certain
     assets of Century Medical, Inc. ("CMI"). These assets consist of a
     laparoscopic training center, inventory and other assets. CMI is a wholly
     owned subsidiary of ITOCHU Corporation and prior to closing was the
     distributor of the Company's products in Japan. The assets acquired were
     used by CMI in the conduct of sales of the Company's products in Japan and
     will be continued to be used by Auto Suture Japan Inc. for such purpose.
     The Company paid approximately $62 million for the assets in a cash
     transaction, with an $11 million initial payment during 1995 and with the
     balance to be paid over six years, interest free. The initial cash payment
     was funded by cash from the Company's operations; the balance of the
     payments are expected to be made out of cash flow from operations of Auto
     Suture Japan Inc. The amount of consideration was determined by reference
     to a formula in the agreement establishing the distributorship which gave
     the Company an option to purchase the assets on a predetermined basis.

     Closing of the transaction was originally expected to occur during the
     first quarter of 1995, but was voluntarily postponed by the Company
     pending a governmental investigation into CMI's operations unrelated to
     the sale of the Company's products. In connection with postponing the
     final closing, an interim agency agreement was entered into, pursuant to
     which the Company, effective as of April 1, 1995, assumed the risks and
     rewards of selling its products to third parties in Japan. As of that
     date, the Company began recognizing CMI's revenues and selling expenses in
     the Company's consolidated financial statements relative to the sale of
     the Company's products in Japan.

     Auto Suture Japan Inc. will have a fiscal year end of November 30, the
     same year end as all other of the Company's international subsidiaries. As
     a result, Auto Suture Japan's fourth quarter will be only two months in
     duration and it is estimated that sales for that period will be
     approximately $8-10 million less than a full three month quarter.

Item 7.     Financial Statements, Pro Forma Financial Information and Exhibits

(a)   Financial Statements of Business Acquired. 

     An audited income statement related to the sales of the Company's products
     by CMI, for CMI's fiscal year ended March 31, 1995, was filed by the
     Company with its Form 8-K Report filed on July 10, 1995. No audited
     balance sheet has been or will be prepared and filed since it is not
     possible to develop an audited balance sheet that relates solely to the
     distribution network of CMI for the Company's products. The assets
     acquired in the acquisition are reflected in the Company's balance sheet
     at September 30, 1995 as filed in the Company's quarterly report on Form
     10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 1995.

               Description of Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated 
                       Condensed Financial Information 

This amendment provides the pro forma financial information required pursuant  
to Article II of Regulation S-X for the period ending September 30, 1995  
which was not included in the Company's Form 8-K Report filed on October 7,  
1995 since the results for the period were not determinable at such time.   
Unaudited pro forma financial information relating to the acquisition and for  
the periods ending December 31, 1994 and March 31, 1995, including pro forma  
income statements and a pro forma balance sheet, was filed with the Company's  
Form 8-K Report filed on July 10, 1995.  The acquisition is reflected in the  
Company's balance sheets filed as a part of the Company's quarterly report on  
Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 1995 and a pro forma balance  
sheet is not required herein.  Such pro forma consolidated financial  
information filed on July 10, 1995 was based upon available information and  
certain assumptions believed by management to be reasonable, and excluded  
nonrecurring costs associated with the acquisition, the amounts of which  
could not be determined prior to closing.   The results in such previously  
filed pro forma consolidated financial information do not vary materially  
based on information available as of closing.   

The Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Condensed Statements of Income filed  
herewith for the nine month period ended September 30, 1995 give effect to  
the acquisition accounted for under the purchase method of accounting.  The  
Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Condensed Financial Information is based  
upon the historical Consolidated Financial Statements of United States  
Surgical Corporation and Subsidiaries and the Century Medical, Inc. Surgical  
Division under certain assumptions, and include pro forma adjustments as set  
forth in the accompanying financial information. 

Such Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Condensed Statements of Income for the  
nine month period ended September 30, 1995 combine the income statements of  
the Company for the applicable periods with the income statements of the  
acquired business for the nine months ended September 30, 1995.   

The pro forma adjustments are based upon available information and certain  
assumptions that management believes are reasonable.   

The Pro Forma Consolidated Condensed Financial Information may not be  
indicative of the results that actually would have occurred if the  
combination had been in effect on the dates indicated or that may be obtained  
in the future, due to the hypothetical nature of the pro forma information.
