The company-wide cut will take place in businesses where growth has slowed.

Medtronic makes a wide array of implantable electronic devices, from the relatively common ICD or implantable cardioverter-defibrillator, to devices for managing urinary incontinence and obesity to name just a few.
The most promising area is neuromodulation business, which includes electrical devices with wires implanted in the brain to treat certain disorders.
