Vericel Corp. (VCEL)

[lasers]

pbor The "$1000 net profit on MACI per procedure" is a conservative IMO theoretical number basis after all costs are covered such as Bioreactor incubation, Hospital and Orthopedic Surgeon costs etc. It most definitely could be higher than $1000 net. For 20,000 MACI procedures per year then a $1000 net profit is $20,000,000 per year. With a $2000 net, profit is $40,000,000 per year etc.

The only thing I don't understand is that although MACI is a very unique solution, why is it sold at such discount price. (I remember lasers mentioned there is $1000 net profit on MACI per procedure)
Other companies sell orphan drug for up to hundreds of thousands.
I'm not arguing that the price of the product should be higher, and just trying to understand how do they come up with prices.
