of the stock options registered on this Form S-8, and pursuant to Rule 457(c)
of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, for all other equity awards
registered on this Form&nbsp;S-8 based upon the average of the high and low

Estimated solely for the
purpose of calculating the registration fee. 
This registration fee has been calculated pursuant to Rule 457(h)(1) of
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, based upon the aggregate exercise price
of the stock options registered on this Form S-8, and pursuant to Rule 457(c)
of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, for all other equity awards
registered on this Form S-8 based upon the average of the high and low
prices of Covidien Ltd.'s Common Shares, par value $0.20 per share, on June 29,
2007, as reported by the New York Stock Exchange, which was $43.33.
(3)  Covidien
International Finance S.A. ("CIFSA"), a 100% owned subsidiary of Covidien Ltd.,
and Covidien Ltd. previously filed a Form S-1 on January 18, 2007 (Registration
no. 333-140062) in connection with the planned offering of senior notes by
CIFSA and in connection with that filing CIFSA paid a filing fee of
$153,050.  This offering was not
consummated and the Registration no. 333-140062 was withdrawn on June 7, 2007.
Pursuant to Rule 457(p) under the Securities Act, the full amount of the
registration fee currently due for this Registration Statement has been offset
against a portion of the registration fee paid for the earlier registration
statement. After this offset, a balance of $77,178 remains from the fee paid
for Registration No. 333-140062.

Item 9.    Undertakings
1.  Covidien
hereby undertakes:
(a)
To file, during any period in which offers or sales
  are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration
Statement:
(i)
To include any prospectus required by Section
  10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
(ii)
To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events
  arising after the effective date of this Registration Statement (or the most
  recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the
  aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the
  registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or
  decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of
  securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any
  deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range
  may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant
  to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price
  represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering
  price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the
  effective registration statement; and
(iii)
To include any material information with respect to
  the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this Registration
  Statement or any material change to such information in this Registration
  Statement;
provided, however
, that paragraphs (1)(a)(i) and (1)(a)(ii) do not
apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment
by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to
the Commission by Covidien pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the
Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement;
(b)           That, for the purpose of determining any liability under
the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a
new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide
offering thereof; and
(c)           To remove from registration by means of a post-effective
amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the
termination of the offering.
2.   Covidien
hereby further undertakes that, for the purposes of determining any liability
under the Securities Act, each filing of Covidien's annual report pursuant to
Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act that is incorporated by reference in
this Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities
at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide
offering
thereof.
3.  Insofar as
indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be
permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of Covidien pursuant
to provisions and arrangements that exist whereby
Covidien may indemnify such persons against liabilities
arising under the Securities Act, or otherwise, Covidien has been advised that
in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy
as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the
event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the
payment by Covidien of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or
controlling person of Covidien in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, Covidien will, unless in the
opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities
Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, Covidien certifies that it has
reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing
on Form S-8 and has duly caused this Registration Statement to be signed on its
behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the Town of Mansfield,
State of Massachusetts, on this 5th day of July, 2007.
