They have employees, revenue, and cash.
Worth at least $1.25.
Got some in the 60s. Time to close the gap.
Unless these guys do a JV/licensing, this will be a horrible investment in the near-term. Many micro caps like this one go BK when they are the sole funders of very aggressive plans…on multiple product lines. They need the JV(s). I do not know if Management has their egos where their good sense should be instead. I think we'll see by end of summer. In the meantime, they do not have the capital to even produce the hardware for the hospitals, etc. I am concerned about dilution if they don't go the JV route. I also wonder why they can't break into the VA system for their units. That would be a Home Run.
Impressive video.

Under the terms of the exchange, the Fountainhead Parties will receive $2,355,587 of Vycor Series D preferred shares ("Series D") that will be convertible into Vycor Shares at a price of $2.15. The Series D will carry a dividend of 7% per annum, payable in cash or Series D at the Company's option. The Company is able to redeem the Series D at par at any time, at its sole option. The Fountainhead Parties will also receive 3-year warrants equivalent to 75% of the Vycor Shares received in the exchange on a converted basis, exercisable at $3.08. Full details will be contained in a Form 8-K filing.
Adrian Liddell, the chairman of Vycor, commented: "This transaction was carefully reviewed by outside counsel and based on their expertise the Audit Committee and Board of Directors of Vycor consider this exchange as very beneficial to the Company, considerably strengthening the balance sheet, and in the best interests of all shareholders."
At the same time, in a transaction not related to the exchange, Fountainhead entered into an agreement with the Company preventing it from selling any Vycor Shares currently held by Fountainhead below $4.50. In return, the Company agreed to extend the life of certain of Fountainhead's existing warrants expiring in 2015 to the same 3-year term as the warrants being issued under the exchange.
I see Vycor is attempting to re-start their previous failed P&D effort, with a one-day promo that ended at 2pm. LLOLLOLLOL good luck with THAT!! What a JOKE!!

Vycor Announces Commercial Release of Its NovaVision Web Deliverable Therapy Suite
PR Newswire
BOCA RATON, Fla., June 25, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --
Vycor Medical, Inc. ("Vycor") (OTCQB—VYCO), a provider of innovative and superior surgical and therapeutic solutions, announced the commercial release of its Internet-delivered therapy suite in the U.S. This therapy suite, consisting of its lead Vision Restoration Therapy (VRT) and its NeuroEyeCoach eye-movement compensation therapy, is delivered directly to patients over the Internet onto their own computers replacing the Company's current "prototype hardware centric" model.
NovaVision has been working to take its VRT therapy prototype and develop it into an affordable, scalable therapy offering that offers broader patient benefits. VRT will going forward be provided alongside NovaVision's NeuroEyeCoach compensatory therapy in one Internet delivered therapy suite. Two things happen when someone suffers from vision related disorders following a stroke or brain injury: there is a loss of visual field as well as difficulty with eye movement, affecting the ability to integrate visual information. VRT addresses the restoration of lost vision while NeuroEyeCoach addresses patients' difficulty with their eye movements and their ability to integrate visual information, allowing them to make the most of their remaining vision, The two therapies provided in a suite are therefore highly complementary and ensure broad benefits to NovaVision's patients.
NovaVision is now positioned, for the first time, with the suite of therapies and product offerings to deliver on its strategic vision: to provide a clinically supported, affordable and scalable visual therapy solution offering broad benefits to those suffering visual impairment following neurological damage; and to offer solutions for both patients and physicians alike.
For Patients:
VRT and NeuroEyeCoach Therapy Suite. NovaVision will commercially launch this week these two complementary therapies, internet-delivered in a package for $900.
NeuroEyeCoach. For patients with visual impairments who are not suitable, for whatever reason, for VRT, NovaVision provides NeuroEyeCoach on its own for $450.
For Physicians:
Vision Diagnostic (VIDIT). The diagnostic component of VRT that enables therapists to perform high-resolution visual field tests in less than 10 minutes to screen for visual field deficits.
NeuroEyeCoach Pro Center. Enables stroke rehabilitation and other centers to treat patients while in their care, both as in-patient and out-patient.
NovaVision and NeuroEyeCoach Pro Physician. Enables physicians to register patients in their clinic who complete the therapy at home, supported by NovaVision but monitored by the physician through a dedicated portal.
VRT is a prescription product and the only FDA cleared therapy (510k) for the restoration of vision loss from neurological damage. VRT is supported by 15 years of clinical research and over 20 studies including a 302 patient study in which notable improvements were seen in 70% of the patients. NeuroEyeCoach is also clinically supported being based on research that has been the subject of 14 clinical studies on a total of 591 patients and has FDA registration.
Commenting on the Company's announcement, Peter Zachariou, CEO of Vycor, stated: "This has been a long time coming and has entailed an enormous amount of work from both our employees but also our scientific advisors and is a key milestone for NovaVision. We are now finally in a position to deliver our therapies to the large numbers of people who suffer vision loss as a result of neurological brain damage as a cost effective and complete therapy solution. I am convinced that this new therapy suite is the most robust, affordable and complete commercially available visual therapy solution targeted at this type of vision loss. This also represents the final step in moving NovaVision from being a development company to one focused on commercializing its unique suite of products. I would urge anyone who has had a stroke or brain injury and suffers from a visual disorder to contact us, we have numerous testimonials of patients for whom these therapies have literally changed their lives".
There are approximately 8m stroke survivors in the U.S. with 795,000 strokes a year, and approximately 1.5m suffering some sort of Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) annually; up to 30% of these suffer a resultant visual impairment, up to 20% permanently. In all, around 2.8 million Americans suffer from this type of vision impairment, which is largely unaddressed by the rehabilitation system. The impact on their daily lives is dramatic, and is the difference between a person being able to be home alone, cross the road unaided, drive, shop or read. The new therapy suite is targeted at this largely underserved group of people.

CEO of Vycor Medical, Inc. (VYCO) Discusses Recent Agreement With HealthSouth for NovaVision's NeuroEyeCoach Eye Compensation Therapy
Vycor Medical's NovaVision Vision Therapy Provides Unique Solution for Millions of Stroke and Brain Injury Patients Afflicted With Visual Disorders
Marketwired
InvestorIdeas.com
POINT ROBERTS, WA, and NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwired - June 15, 2015) - Investorideas.com, a global news source covering leading sectors including biotech and medical technology releases an exclusive interview with Peter Zachariou, CEO of Vycor Medical, Inc (VYCO). Peter discusses the recent agreement with HealthSouth for its NovaVision NeuroEyeCoach Professional Center therapy program.
This agreement follows the earlier approval by HealthSouth for Vycor Medical's NovaVision VIDIT. NovaVision's lead therapy, Vision Restoration Therapy (VRT), has both a diagnostic (VIDIT) and a therapeutic component. It is this diagnostic component that is being made available to HealthSouth participating hospitals to enable HealthSouth rehabilitation and clinical teams to perform high resolution visual field tests to screen for central visual field deficits commonly associated with Stroke or Brain Injury.
HealthSouth's interest in NovaVision's therapies demonstrates that vision is increasingly being recognized as an important condition alongside speech, occupational and physical therapies.
"According to the CDC, every 40 seconds someone has a Stroke. Nearly 2 million people sustain a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) per year in the U.S. alone. The Stroke Association estimates there are 8 Million Stroke survivors and approximately 20% of both Stroke and TBI survivors suffer some form of permanent vision loss."
http://player.vimeo.com/video/39765566
Peter shares insight into this game-changing technology and how the agreements with HealthSouth will play an integral role in the future of bringing vision therapy products to patients.
Q: Investorideas.com
Peter, for investors that are not familiar with your company and its technology, can you give an overview of the NovaVision suite of products and the relationship between Vycor Medical and NovaVision?
A: Peter Zachariou, CEO of Vycor Medical, Inc.
NovaVision is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Vycor Medical. NovaVision provides a comprehensive family of therapies designed for patients with neurologically induced visual disorders. The suite of therapies both restore (VRT) and help to compensate (NeuroEyeCoach) for lost vision and complement each other to maximize patient benefit. NovaVision's diagnostic and therapy programs have FDA clearance.
All of NovaVision's therapies are supported by clinical data. NovaVision's lead therapy, Vision Restoration Therapy (VRT), is the only FDA cleared therapy targeted at the restoration of lost vision as a result of neurological brain damage such as that caused by a Stroke or Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). VRT is underpinned by 15 years of research and over 20 clinical studies.
We estimate that the market potential for NovaVision's therapies in the US and Europe alone is around $4 Billion.
Q: Investorideas.com
In your most recent press release you announced your second agreement with HealthSouth, now placing both NeuroEyeCoach, your eye movement compensation therapy and your diagnostic technology (NovaVision's VRT) at HealthSouth. What does this mean in terms of patient treatment?
A: Peter Zachariou, CEO of Vycor Medical, Inc
Visual field deficits caused by neurological injuries can result in a debilitating loss of confidence and cause significant isolation; activities of daily life such as reading, shopping or driving can be very negatively affected.
The VIDIT agreement with HealthSouth participating hospitals provides their therapists with the tools to identify if a patient has a visual disorder. The therapist then has the opportunity to refer the patient to NovaVision for the treatment of these disorders.
It is important to note that prior to the development of VRT, there was no commercially available therapy to improve the range or sensitivity of the patient's field of vision -- patients were told they "had to live with" their deficits. This has now been clinically proven not to be true.
The significance of being able to quickly identify visual disorders through this effective screening program is highlighted by the fact that approximately one-third of Stroke or Brain Injury patients will suffer from a neurologically-induced visual disorder. An undetected visual field deficit may adversely impact other rehabilitation modalities. Early detection and treatment are critical steps towards improving overall patient care. Our product offering now available to the HealthSouth network allows their therapists to both identify vision loss and help patients compensate for their loss.
To carry out normal daily tasks, such as finding an object at home or on a supermarket shelf, you need to make effective eye movements. Unfortunately, normal eye movements are also affected after Brain Injury adding to the problems of blindness. Specific training is needed for you to learn to make effective use of your eye movement again. While VRT has been shown to actually restore some of a patients lost vision, our NeuroEyeCoach program increases the efficiency of a patient's eye movement and re-trains the patients' ability to make the most of their remaining vision. The two therapies are therefore highly complementary and provide broad benefits.
Q: Investorideas.com
Can you give us some background on this most recent HealthSouth agreement and the steps moving forward?
A: Peter Zachariou, CEO of Vycor Medical, Inc.
HealthSouth trialed both the products for many months in several sites and collected feedback. On the basis of the feedback, HealthSouth approved our products to be made available in their network.
We have placed VIDIT products with several HealthSouth hospitals and are now actively marketing our VIDIT and NeuroEyeCoach products through the HealthSouth network.
The significance of this strategy is that most patients who have suffered a Stroke or significant Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) will touch a rehab center as an inpatient or outpatient at some time and that is the universe of patients that are eligible for our therapies.
Looking beyond HealthSouth, there are other rehabilitation chains in the US which also may be interested in providing more focused vision rehabilitation treatments. NovaVision stands ready to service those other chains also.
Q: Investorideas.com
Can you share some success stories and statistics of the vision therapy technology?
A: Peter Zachariou, CEO of Vycor Medical, Inc.
One of the most gratifying aspects of my job is that we have a large number of success stories of people who have undertaken both our VRT and our NeuroEyeCoach therapies. You may have heard most recently of Carol Urban who has given a number of radio interviews on how she got her life back following VRT. Carol is a good example of how these therapies can change someone's life. In her case, her physician actually told her that it wouldn't work and she has now got over 90% of her vision back.
One thing we haven't touched on is our therapy suite and how it is readily available to everyone who has suffered visual disorders following some sort of brain damage such as Stroke. Our VRT and NeuroEyeCoach will very shortly be available to patients in their own home - delivered over the Internet onto their own computers, at a very affordable price. We believe this is the most affordable, clinically supported, comprehensive therapy suite available on the market to address visual disorders from neurological brain damage. I would urge anyone who has suffered vision loss of this kind to reach out to NovaVision.
Q: Investorideas.com
Vycor's NovaVision is currently the only FDA approved vision therapy product. What does that mean for the company in terms of market opportunity?
A: Peter Zachariou, CEO of Vycor Medical, Inc.
NovaVision provides non-invasive, computer-based vision solutions targeted at a substantial and largely unaddressed market of people who have visual disorders as a result of Stroke, Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) or other neurological brain damage.
Unfortunately that translates into many millions of people who suffer from this kind of vision loss. Every 40 seconds someone in the US has a Stroke and there are about 795,000 strokes a year and 8 million American's who have suffered a Stroke. Up to 30% of these have a visual disorder and 20% a permanent visual field deficit. You can quickly appreciate that the market we are targeting is in the many billions of dollars and as you say, VRT is the only clinically supported restoration therapy out there with FDA clearance.
Q: Investorideas.com
In closing, can you summarize your corporate strategy and vision that includes your complete portfolio of products and medical solutions?
A: Peter Zachariou, CEO of Vycor Medical, Inc.
To date, NovaVision's products have changed the lives of many patients. It is our clear intention to continue to promote and raise the awareness of our life-improving therapies with a view of becoming the gold standard for vision rehabilitation for patients who have suffered visual disorders resulting from Stroke and other brain injuries.
Since Vycor acquired NovaVision, we have focused on building the basis for this gold standard objective by driving down the price of the therapy by lowering the cost of delivery and increasing efficiencies; broadening benefits to patients by adding NeuroEyeCoach; and making our therapies truly scalable. NovaVision is now positioned for the first time, with the suite of therapies and product offerings, to deliver on this strategic vision: to provide a clinically supported, affordable and scalable visual therapy solution offering broad benefits to those suffering visual impairment following neurological damage and to offer solutions for both patients and physicians alike.

This agreement follows the approval by HealthSouth in late 2014 to make available its VIDIT diagnostic to their hospital network and NovaVision is installing devices into this network. The NovaVision VIDIT is the diagnostic component of the Company's Vision Restoration Therapy (VRT) and is used to perform high-resolution visual field tests to screen for central visual field deficits commonly associated with stroke or brain injury. The ability for Health South physicians to be able to quickly identify visual disorders through the effective screening program is highlighted by the fact that approximately one-third of stroke or other brain injury patients suffer from a neurologically induced visual disorder and if this deficit goes undetected it may adversely impact other rehabilitation modalities. Early detection and treatment are critical steps towards improving overall patient care, a key objective of HealthSouth.

About Vycor Medical Inc..
Vycor Medical, Inc. is a medical device company committed to making neurological brain, spinal and other surgical procedures safer and more effective. Vycor's innovative medical instruments are designed to optimize neurosurgical site access, reduce patient risk, accelerate recovery, and add tangible value to the professional medical community. The Cure Should Never Prove Worse Than the Condition.
Vycor Medical was founded on this basic challenge: "There must be a better way". A better way to access surgical locations without unduly damaging surrounding tissue. A less invasive means to perform critical procedures, so that collateral trauma can be minimized and postoperative recovery accelerated. And a better breed of surgical access instrumentation for enhancing performance, safety and results such as the Vycor ViewSite Surgical Access Systems, our premiere product line.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TAKE A LONG HARD LOOK AT VYCO:
=====> VYCO's NovaVision technology is the only FDA cleared treatment that restores vision lost by victims of stroke and traumatic brain injury.
Vycor NovaVision product offering is the first real, tested, proven treatment for a type of vision loss which the medical community has considered untreatable for over a hundred years. NovaVision literally restores sight to the blind. VYCO has generated a legitimate medical breakthrough.
"NovaVision provides a home-based treatment of vision rehabilitation after stroke or brain injury called Vision Restoration Therapy (VRT™). VRT is an FDA-cleared, patented, non-invasive medical device that enhances visual functions in patients with impairments due to stroke, surgical intervention, and traumatic brain injury (TBI). "
"70% of cases patients using NovaVision's VRT system over a three to six month period experience significant recovery in at least one functional outcome. In many cases this recovery is enough to restore lost abilities such as reading, avoiding unseen objects while walking, or in some cases even driving a car."
"Stroke and traumatic brain injury (TBI) victims are almost always told by their doctors that vision loss causedby neurological brain damage is permanent and irreversible; these doctors have been taught this "fact" since early in their careers, and they mostly accept it as a fact, without question. However, according to six Company-sponsored studies and fourteen independent studies, conducted over a period of 15 years, this is not a fact at all. It is instead a previously-valid medical conclusion based on old data and technology - it is not based on current research. We believe the new data regarding recently-developed technology (i.e. NovaVision's VRT and NeET) have clearly shown that vision loss can be at least partially restored in most cases..."
Read up on the science and research here, including 15 years of research and 20 clinical studies: http://www.novavision.com/clinical-studies
Every year, 795,000 victims in the US alone suffer a stroke. http://www.cdc.gov/stroke/facts.htm
====> VYCO's ViewSite technology makes previously inoperable brain surgeries possible.
The ViewSite™ system is a revolutionary approach in brain retraction and access. It dramatically reduces the damage done by "retractors" used by neurosurgeons when reaching subsurface areas of the brain.
http://www.vycormedical.com/products/products.html
"The net effect of this is improved clinical outcomes, shorter surgeries, and shorter recovery times; in some cases this product's superior attributes have allowed brain surgeons to successfully perform surgeries that would have otherwise been considered inoperable."
VYCO technology is saving lives.
Doctor testimonials: http://www.vycormedical.com/products/testimonials.html
Clinical reports: http://www.vycormedical.com/products/reports.html
"Since its introduction in 2010, the ViewSite Brain Access System has been used to perform over 3,000 brain surgery procedures, and it has either been approved or is being evaluated by some 130 hospitals in the United States alone."
====> VYCO is penetrating a $20B international market.
"VYCOR Should Enter Hyper-growth During the Next Two to Three Years. Vycor's ViewSite is already making good inroads into the relatively small neurosurgery market, both in the U.S. and overseas, and we expect sales to grow robustly beginning in early 2013. However, we are most excited about the long-term potential of the NovaVisionsubsidiary, as its products have no real competition and address a global market that could be up to $20B in size. Although NovaVision's products could require several years to achieve market penetration of even 5%, this would still equate to a huge win for a company of this size. Both NovaVision and ViewSite have strong patent protection and backing from the scientific community, and both are FDA 510(k) cleared for sale in the United States." -- from the Harbinger Report
VYCO VRT treatment has already treated 2,000 patients. A $170,000 shipment was made to China in December, 2011. VYCO technology is already being used in hundreds of hospitals worldwide.
Vycor distributors are international, and aside from the US, include Australia, China, Japan, the Benelux, Greece, Italy, Spain, Sweden and the UK. 39% of revenue comes from sales outside the US, 32% of which is China. http://www.vycormedical.com/products/distributors.html
====> VYCO Revenues up. Forecasts call for revenues of $2.9mm in 2012, $5.3mm in 2013
"Revenue up 198% Over First Quarter 2011; Vycor Medical Division Revenue up 222% Over 2011, NovaVision Division up 145%; Net Loss Reduced"
