Feb 1 (Reuters) - Medical device maker Stryker Corp said it would buy Sage Products LLC, which makes products used in intensive care units, from private equity firm Madison Dearborn Partners for $2.78 billion.

Sage makes disposable medical products used in pre-operative care to help control the spread of hospital-acquired infections.

The company also makes solutions for oral care, skin preparation and protection and patient cleaning and hygiene.

Stryker said the deal was likely to add to its 2016 adjusted net earnings excluding acquisition-related charges.

The Kalamazoo, Michigan-based device maker also raised its 2016 adjusted earnings forecast by 5 cents to $5.55-5.75 per share.

J.P. Morgan Securities LLC is the financial adviser to Stryker, while Sullivan & Cromwell LLP is the legal counsel.

Cary, Illinois-based Sage is being advised by Barclays.
