Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with the requirements for unaudited interim periods, and consequently, do not include all disclosures required to be made in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In the opinion of our management, the accompanying consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position as of March 31, 2015 and our results of operations and cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2015 and 2014. The results of operations for the three-month period ended March 31, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results for a full-year period. These interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). |

As of March 31, 2015, the total remaining unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock options, net of expected forfeitures, was approximately $6.7 million and is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 3.7 years. | ||||||||
During the three months ended March 31, 2015, we granted awards representing 446,800 shares of our common stock. We did not grant any stock-based awards during the three months ended March 31, 2014. We use the Black-Scholes methodology to value the stock-based compensation expense for options. In applying the Black-Scholes methodology to the options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2015, the fair value of our stock-based awards granted was estimated using the following assumptions for the periods indicated below: | ||||||||
Three Months Ended | ||||||||
31-Mar-15 | ||||||||
Risk-free interest rate | 1.53% | |||||||
Expected option life | 5 | |||||||
Expected dividend yield | —% | |||||||
Expected price volatility | 35.11% | |||||||
For purposes of the foregoing analysis, the average risk-free interest rate is determined using the U.S. Treasury rate in effect as of the date of grant, based on the expected term of the stock option. The expected term of the stock options is determined using the historical exercise behavior of employees. The expected price volatility is determined using a weighted average of daily historical volatility of our stock price over the corresponding expected option life and implied volatility based on recent trends of the daily historical volatility. Compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the service period, which corresponds to the related vesting period. |

("CathConn"), a Utah corporation, which we had originally entered into on August 21, 2012 for CathConn's MaleCap Solo technology. The amendment provides exclusive rights for other aspects of CathConn's DualCap disinfecting cap technology. We paid CathConn an additional $250,000 in January 2015. The purchase price was allocated to a distribution agreement for $250,000, which we intend to amortize over 10 years. |
On August 8, 2014, we entered into a license agreement and a distribution agreement with a medical device company for the right to manufacture and sell certain percutaneous transluminal angioplasty balloon catheter products. As of December 31, 2014, we had paid $3.0 million and recorded an additional $1.0 million obligation to accrued liabilities in connection with these two agreements. During the quarter ended March 31, 2015, we paid the $1.0 million that was accrued as of December 31, 2014. We are obligated to pay an additional $3.0 million to the licensor if certain milestones set forth in the license agreement are reached. We accounted for the transaction as an asset purchase. Of the purchase price paid as of March 31, 2015, $200,000 was allocated to a distribution agreement asset, which we are amortizing over a period of 3 years, and $3.8 million was allocated to a license agreement asset, which we intend to amortize over a period of 12 years. |

Recent Accounting Pronouncements [Abstract] | |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements | Recent Accounting Pronouncements. In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs, which requires debt issuance costs to be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the associated debt liability. The standard is effective for our financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for financial statements that have not been previously issued. The new guidance will be applied on a retrospective basis. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on our financial statements. |
In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, which requires management to assess, at each annual and interim reporting period, the entity's ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued and provide related disclosures. The guidance is effective for the year ending December 31, 2016, with early adoption permitted. We have assessed the anticipated impact of this standard on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures and do not believe that it will have a material impact upon adoption. | |
In May 2014, the FASB issued authoritative guidance amending the FASB Accounting Standards Codification and creating a new Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The new guidance clarifies the principles for recognizing revenue and develops a common revenue standard for U.S. GAAP applicable to revenue transactions. This guidance provides that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The existing industry guidance will be eliminated when the new guidance becomes effective and annual disclosures will be substantially revised. The standard is effective for the Company’s first quarter of 2017. Early adoption is not permitted. Implementation may be either through retrospective application to each period from the first quarter of 2015 or with a cumulative effect adjustment upon adoption in 2017. Additional disclosures will also be required under the new standard. In April 2015, the FASB issued a proposal that, if approved, would extend the required implementation date one year to the first quarter of 2018 but also would permit companies to adopt the standard at the original effective date of 2017. We are assessing the impact this new standard will have on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures. |

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Income Taxes | Income Taxes. Our overall effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 was 30.7% and 27.4%, respectively, which resulted in a provision for income taxes of $2.3 million and $1.1 million, respectively. The increase in the effective income tax rate for the first quarter of 2015, when compared to the first quarter of 2014, was due primarily to the increased profit of our U.S. operations, which are generally taxed at a higher rate than our foreign operations. |
Longterm_Debt

Debt Disclosure [Abstract] | ||||||||
Long-Term Debt | Long-term Debt. We entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated December 19, 2012, with the lenders who are or may become party thereto (collectively, the "Lenders") and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association ("Wells Fargo"), as administrative agent for the Lenders, which was amended on October 4, 2013 by a First Amendment to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement by and among Merit, certain subsidiaries of Merit, the Lenders and Wells Fargo as administrative agent for the Lenders (as amended, the "Credit Agreement"). Pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement, the Lenders have agreed to make revolving credit loans up to an aggregate amount of $215 million. The Lenders also made a term loan in the amount of $100 million, repayable in quarterly installments in the amounts provided in the Credit Agreement until the maturity date of December 19, 2017, at which time the term and revolving credit loans, together with accrued interest thereon, will be due and payable. In addition, certain mandatory prepayments are required to be made upon the occurrence of certain events described in the Credit Agreement. Wells Fargo has agreed, upon satisfaction of certain conditions, to make swingline loans from time to time through the maturity date in amounts equal to the difference between the amounts actually loaned by the Lenders and the aggregate revolving credit commitment. The Credit Agreement is collateralized by substantially all of our assets. At any time prior to the maturity date, we may repay any amounts owing under all revolving credit loans, term loans, and all swingline loans in whole or in part, subject to certain minimum thresholds, without premium or penalty, other than breakage costs. | |||||||
The term loan and any revolving credit loans made under the Credit Agreement bear interest, at our election, at either (i) the base rate (described below) plus 0.25% (subject to adjustment if the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio, as defined in the Credit Agreement, is at or greater than 2.25 to 1), (ii) the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) Market Index Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus 1.25% (subject to adjustment if the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio, as defined in the Credit Agreement, is at or greater than 2.25 to 1), or (iii) the LIBOR Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus 1.25% (subject to adjustment if the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio, as defined in the Credit Agreement, is at or greater than 2.25 to 1). Initially, the term loan and revolving credit loans under the Credit Agreement bear interest, at our election, at either (x) the base rate plus 1.00%, (y) the LIBOR Market Index Rate, plus 2.00%, or (z) the LIBOR Rate plus 2.00%. Swingline loans bear interest at the LIBOR Market Index Rate plus 1.25% (subject to adjustment if the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio, as defined in the Credit Agreement, is at or greater than 2.25 to 1). Initially, swingline loans bear interest at the LIBOR Market Index Rate plus 2.00%. Interest on each loan featuring the base rate or the LIBOR Market Index Rate is due and payable on the last business day of each calendar month; interest on each loan featuring the LIBOR Rate is due and payable on the last day of each interest period selected by us when selecting the LIBOR Rate as the benchmark for interest calculation. For purposes of the Credit Agreement, the base rate means the highest of (i) the prime rate (as announced by Wells Fargo), (ii) the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, and (iii) LIBOR for an interest period of one month plus 1.00%. Our obligations under the Credit Agreement and all loans made thereunder are fully secured by a security interest in our assets pursuant to a separate collateral agreement entered into in conjunction with the Credit Agreement. | ||||||||
The Credit Agreement contains covenants, representations and warranties and other terms customary for revolving credit loans of this nature. In this regard, the Credit Agreement requires us to not, among other things, (a) permit the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) to be greater than 4.75 to 1 through the end of 2013, no more than 4.00 to 1 as of the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2014, no more than 3.75 to 1 as of the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2014, no more than 3.50 to 1 as of the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2014, no more than 3.25 to 1 as of the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2014, no more than 3.00 to 1 as of any fiscal quarter ending during 2015, no more than 2.75 to 1 as of any fiscal quarter ending during 2016, and no more than 2.50 to 1 as of any fiscal quarter ending thereafter; (b) for any period of four consecutive fiscal quarters, permit the ratio of Consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the Credit Agreement and subject to certain adjustments) to Consolidated Fixed Charges (as defined in the Credit Agreement) to be less than 1.75 to 1; (c) subject to certain adjustments, permit Consolidated Net Income (as defined in the Credit Agreement) for certain periods to be less than $0; or (d) subject to certain conditions and adjustments, permit the aggregate amount of all Facility Capital Expenditures (as defined in the Credit Agreement) in any fiscal year beginning in 2013 to exceed $30 million. Additionally, the Credit Agreement contains various negative covenants with which we must comply, including, but not limited to, limitations respecting: the incurrence of indebtedness, the creation of liens or pledges on our assets, mergers or similar combinations or liquidations, asset dispositions, the repurchase or redemption of equity interests or debt, the issuance of equity, the payment of dividends and certain distributions, the entry into related party transactions and other provisions customary in similar types of agreements. As of March 31, 2015, we were in compliance with all covenants set forth in the Credit Agreement. | ||||||||
We had originally entered into an unsecured credit agreement, dated September 30, 2010, with certain lenders who were or became party thereto and Wells Fargo, as administrative agent for the lenders. Pursuant to the terms of that credit agreement, the lenders agreed to make revolving credit loans up to an aggregate amount of $175 million. Wells Fargo also agreed to make swingline loans from time to time through the maturity date of September 10, 2015 in amounts equal to the difference between the amount actually loaned by the lenders and the aggregate credit agreement. The unsecured credit agreement was amended and restated as of December 19, 2012, as the Credit Agreement. | ||||||||
In summary, principal balances under our long-term debt as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, consisted of the following (in thousands): | ||||||||

As of March 31, 2015, we had outstanding borrowings of approximately $212.9 million under the Credit Agreement, with available borrowings of approximately $31.2 million, based on the leverage ratio in the terms of the Credit Agreement. Our interest rate as of March 31, 2015 was a fixed rate of 2.98% on $138.8 million as a result of an interest rate swap (see Note 10), a variable floating rate of 2.18% on $74.0 million and a variable floating rate of 2.27% on approximately $62,000. Our interest rate as of December 31, 2014 was a fixed rate of 2.98% on $140.0 million as a result of an interest rate swap, variable floating rate of 2.17% on $84.3 million and a variable floating rate of 2.26% on approximately $174,000. |

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Derivatives | Interest Rate Swap. On December 19, 2012, we entered into a pay-fixed, receive-variable interest rate swap having an initial notional amount of $150 million with Wells Fargo to fix the one-month LIBOR rate at 0.98%. The variable portion of the interest rate swap is tied to the one-month LIBOR rate (the benchmark interest rate). The interest rates under both the interest rate swap and the underlying debt reset, the swap is settled with the counterparty, and interest is paid, on a monthly basis. The notional amount of the interest rate swap is reduced quarterly by 50% of the minimum principal payment due under the terms of the Credit Agreement. The interest rate swap is scheduled to expire on December 19, 2017. |
At March 31, 2015, our interest rate swap qualified as a cash flow hedge. The fair value of our interest rate swap at March 31, 2015 was a liability of approximately $325,000, which was offset by approximately $126,000 in deferred taxes. The fair value of our interest rate swap at December 31, 2014 was an asset of approximately $573,000, which was offset by approximately $223,000 in deferred taxes. | |
During the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, the amounts reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income to earnings due to hedge effectiveness were included in interest expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of income and were not material. | |
Foreign Currency Forward Contracts. On February 27, 2015, we forecasted a net exposure for March 31, 2015 (representing the difference between Euro and GBP-denominated receivables and Euro-denominated payables) of approximately 309,000 Euros and 257,000 GBPs. In order to partially offset such risks, on February 27, 2015, we entered into a 30-day forward contract for the Euro and GBP with a notional amount of approximately 309,000 Euros and notional amount of 257,000 GBPs. | |
We enter into similar transactions at various times during the year to partially offset exchange rate risks we bear throughout the year. These contracts are marked to market at the end of each month. The effect on our consolidated statements of income for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 of all forward contracts, and the fair value of our open positions at March 31, 2015, were not material. |

Certain of our business combinations involve the potential for the payment of future contingent consideration, generally based on a percentage of future product sales or upon attaining specified future revenue milestones. The contingent consideration liability is re-measured at the estimated fair value at each reporting period with the change in fair value recognized within operating expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of income. We measure the initial liability and re-measure the liability on a recurring basis using Level 3 inputs as defined under authoritative guidance for fair value measurements. Changes in the fair value of our contingent consideration liability during the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, consisted of the following (in thousands): | |||||||||||||||||

Projected year of payments | 2015-2016 | ||||||||||||||||
The contingent consideration liability is re-measured to fair value each reporting period using projected revenues, discount rates, probabilities of payment, and projected payment dates. Projected contingent payment amounts are discounted back to the current period using a discounted cash flow model. Projected revenues are based on our most recent internal operational budgets and long-range strategic plans. Increases (decreases) in discount rates and the time to payment may result in lower (higher) fair value measurements. A decrease in the probability of any milestone payment may result in lower fair value measurements. An increase (decrease) in either the discount rate or the time to payment, in isolation, may result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement. | |||||||||||||||||
Our determination of the fair value of the contingent consideration liability could change in future periods based upon our ongoing evaluation of these significant unobservable inputs. We intend to record any such change in fair value to operating expenses in our consolidated statements of income. As of March 31, 2015, approximately $740,000 was included in other long-term obligations and $1.1 million was included in accrued expenses in our consolidated balance sheet. As of December 31, 2014, approximately $803,000 was included in other long-term obligations and $1.1 million was included in accrued expenses in our consolidated balance sheet. The cash paid to settle the contingent consideration liability recognized at fair value as of the acquisition date (including measurement-period adjustments) has been reflected as a cash outflow from financing activities in the accompanying consolidated statements of cash flows. | |||||||||||||||||
During the three-month periods ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, we had losses of approximately $14,000 and $34,000, respectively, related to the measurement of non-financial assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis subsequent to their initial recognition. | |||||||||||||||||
The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, and trade payables approximates fair value because of the immediate, short-term maturity of these financial instruments. The carrying amount of long-term debt approximates fair value, as determined by borrowing rates estimated to be available to us for debt with similar terms and conditions. The fair value of assets and liabilities whose carrying value approximates fair value is determined using Level 2 inputs, with the exception of cash and cash equivalents (Level 1). |
