           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



The Company believes that it has included all adjustments,
consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which are
necessary to present fairly the results of operations for these
periods.  The results of operations for the interim periods are not
necessarily indicative of results of operations for a full year. 
These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements, as filed by the Company in the 1993 Annual
Report on Form 10-K.

The Company provides postretirement health care benefits and life
insurance coverage to a limited number of employees at a
subsidiary.  Effective January 1, 1993, the Company adopted the
provisions of a new accounting standard related to postretirement
health care benefits resulting in the Company recording an after
tax charge of $6,100,000.

On April 5, 1994 the U.S. District Court in Boston approved the
plea agreement signed by the Company and the federal government on
October 14, 1993.  The agreement is in connection with charges
stemming from violations, primarily during the 1980's by the
Company's USCI division, of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act
and other statutes.  Under the agreement, the Company agreed to pay
a fine and civil damages totaling $61,000,000 which had been
charged against the 1993 third quarter's earnings.  In May 1994,
the Company paid $30,500,000 to the government in accordance with
this agreement.

In early October 1994, the Company acquired Angiomed, a German
medical device manufacturer, with 1993 revenue of approximately
$40,000,000.  This business will contribute to sales in each of
Bard's three product groups.  Among Angiomed's many products are
metal stents, which are currently marketed for urology, radiology,
vascular surgery and gastroenterology applications in many
countries outside the United States.  Potential coronary
applications are under development.  This acquisition will also
strengthen Bard's position in Germany, the third largest medical
market in the world, and provide greater market penetration for all
of Bard's products within emerging Eastern European markets.  The
funds used for this acquisition are included in cash and short-term
investments and were financed by a combination of European cash and
some additional short-term borrowings which were obtained prior to
September 30, 1994 and are reflected in the balance sheet as of
that date.  Some modest dilution in earnings per share is anticipated
for the fourth quarter of 1994 as a result of the acquisition, with
no earnings dilution anticipated in 1995 and beyond.  Since the beginning
of 1994, including the Angiomed acquisition, the Company has invested
over $83,000,000 in acquiring new businesses or product lines.

   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                    AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS



Consolidated net sales for the third quarter of $251,900,000
increased 3% against the third quarter 1993 level of $243,500,000. 
Sales for the nine months of 1994 of $755,600,000 increased 4%
against the same period last year.  Sales in the U.S. for the third
quarter were $176,900,000, a 2% increase from 1993.  Sales outside
the U.S. increased 7% in the quarter to $75,000,000.  The currency
translation effect increased international sales in this quarter by
3%.  For the nine months ended September 30, 1994, sales in the
U.S. were $536,400,000, up 5%, while international sales totaled
$219,200,000, a 3% increase.  For the nine month period ended
September 30, 1994, the total sales increase is primarily due 
to an increase in volume, currency translation had essentially no
effect, and the sale of Bard MedSystems division, reported in
February 1993 had the effect of lowering sales by 1%.

In the third quarter of 1994 the urological and surgical products
groups continued to lead the Company's revenue and earning growth. 
The new Contigen Bard collagen implant for the treatment of
incontinence was the Company's most important contributor with nine
month 1994 sales in excess of $25,000,000.  Cardiovascular sales
remain soft, primarily due to a lack of new product approvals in
the United States at the USCI division as well as price declines in
balloon angioplasty catheters in both the U.S. and Europe.  The Company
continues to develop and launch new balloon angioplasty products in
international markets.

The gross profit margins have held steady at 51% for both the
quarter and the nine month periods ended September 30, 1994 and
1993.

Other income(expense), net, totaled to a net expense of $2,800,000
for the nine months ended September 30, 1994 as compared with a net
expense of $51,800,000 for the same period in 1993.  Included in
the 1993 amount is a charge to cover the $61,000,000 settlement
reached with the Justice Department.  Also, this amount includes a gain of
approximately $15,900,000 from the sale of the MedSystems division to
Baxter International and several nonrecurring charges
of over $5,000,000 during the first quarter of 1993.

   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                    AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS



Effective January 1, 1993 the Company adopted Statements of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 106, "Accounting for Post
Retirement Benefits Other Than Pensions" and No. 109, "Accounting
for Income Taxes".  The adoption of Statement No. 106 is further
discussed in the accompanying footnotes.

The Company results for the quarter ended September 30, 1994 was
net income of $22,800,000 or $.44 per share as compared with a net
loss of $25,200,000 or $(.48) per share for the same quarter in
1993.  The effect of the Justice Department settlement during the
third quarter of 1993 was to reduce earnings by $45,400,000 or $.87
per share.  Without the settlement provision, the Company would
have reported net income of $20,200,000 or $.39 per share.

Cash and short-term investments have increased during the nine
month period ended September 30, 1994 to accumulate sufficient
funds for the preparation of acquiring Angiomed in October 1994
(see footnotes for further discussion).  

Short-term borrowings have increased during the first nine months
of 1994 by approximately $79,400,000.  These additional borrowings
were used for general working capital, a portion was used for the
payment of the Department of Justice settlement (see footnotes for
further discussion) and some foreign currency borrowings were made
in anticipation of acquiring Angiomed in October 1994.

Accrued expenses declined by $20,200,000 and other long-term
liabilities declined by $18,700,000 between December 31, 1993 and
September 30, 1994.  These reductions were mainly a result of the
Company paying $30,500,000 to the federal government and the
reclassification of $15,300,000 from long-term to short-term for
its obligations under the Department of Justice settlement
agreement.

Other shareholders' investment has increased by $14,900,000 in the
first nine months of 1994 primarily as a result of foreign currency
translation adjustment.

During the first nine months of 1993 the Company invested over
$55,000,000 acquiring several companies or product lines.  In March
1993, the Company acquired the assets of Solco Hospital Products
Group, Inc., whose principal products are autotransfusion devices. 
This acquisition has strengthened the Company's overall presence in
blood salvaging products.  In September 1993, the Company acquired
Pilot Cardiovascular Systems, Inc., a manufacturer of a patented
deflectable-tipped angioplasty guidewire.  The Pilot guidewire will
provide the Company with a new technology to enhance its market
position in the radiopaque guidewire segment of its cardiology
business.
