The Health Care Index is the same performance peer group selected by the Compensation Committee for determining the achievement of targets of TSR performance-based deferred stock units (DSUs) and RSUs granted to our NEOs, including our CEO, between 2020 and 2022.

“Compensation Actually Paid” does not correlate to the total amount of cash or equity compensation realized during each fiscal year and is different from “realizable” or “realized” compensation as reported in the Compensation Discussion & Analysis. Instead, it is a nuanced calculation that includes the increase or decrease in value of certain elements of compensation over each fiscal year, including compensation granted in a prior year, in accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K. The amount of compensation ultimately received may, in fact, be different from the amounts disclosed in these columns of the PVP Table. |  |

Non-GAAP Measure Description [Text Block] | Adjusted Net Sales represents the most important financial performance measure (that is not otherwise required to be disclosed in the table) used by the Company to link compensation actually paid to our NEOs, including our CEO, for the most recently completed fiscal year to the Company’s performance. Adjusted Net Sales is a non-GAAP measure and is calculated as net sales on a GAAP basis excluding the impact of revenue from acquisitions completed after the establishment of the internal financial plan, as applicable, and foreign currency fluctuations. For a reconciliation of Adjusted Net Sales to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure and insight into how Adjusted Net Sales is considered by management, please see Annex A to this Proxy Statement. |  |
