Halyard Health Inc. is rebranding to Avanos Medical Inc., effective June 30.
The Alpharetta, Ga.-based medical technology company's ticker on the New York Stock Exchange will change to AVNS from HYH, effective July 2.
The name change follows the conclusion of the $710 million sale of Halyard Health's surgical and infection prevention, or S&IP, unit to Owens & Minor Inc.
"Having completed the divestiture of S&IP, Avanos is now a pure-play medical devices company," said CEO Joe Woody.
