The multi-articulating robotic instruments patent seemingly would have to be a thorn in the side of many companies interested in this space.
I'm Wondering if the two patents you reference are the main reasons Columbia licensed IREP to Titan in the first place. Surely others were interested??
Agree.
All that revenue and an 80 million dollar loss last quarter. At this pace they will be profitable probably........Well never.
But they do have a CE approved space eating pile of junk that helps hospitals go backwards in technology as long as there willing to pay davinci type of prices.
Trxc is a longtermgem. Good luck back! to your hole you sly fox.
Realize nabil simaan founded auris technologies (now auris surgical)
For the rooks on the board the same Nabil simaan also developed IREP.
Nabil simaan protégées from Columbia and Vanderbilt labs who both helped create the Auris and IREP technologies now work for Verb.
Fascinating isn't it?
Sounds like jnj is gonna need some really flexible robotic arms to reach these deep/inaccessible areas. Straight sticks with wrists ain't gonna cut it.
I can tell you from personal experience that Merrill lynch cut me off from buying shares in Titan. I had to open a Schwab acct. what was interesting is that Merrill has rules only allowing so much % of holdings in an OTC penny stock. The other comment made by the advisor was that they don't have a market maker in Titxf.
Financial advisors know very little about promising startups and opportunities outside of their box and are after every buck you'll give them. They want to be in control of your money. Personally I don't trust them or appreciate their outrageous fees. 401k's are a scam too.
No debt= no bankruptcy!
Stop the madness.
Great write up on market makers for anyone interested. The otc is such a scam.

Friendly advice don't reference your Ihub profile name in your email or voicemail :)
Although they can probably put 2 an 2 together to figure out who is stalking them via your posts.
Other companies won't let this go for pennies. There will be multiple bids. More than one company wants/ needs tech like sport. BTW they have no debt so the bankruptcy talk is silly.
You guys realize they halted development in the past due to financing?? It's just the first time they told us when it happened.
Actually the IP belongs to Columbia.
.58 close?
Who cares? He got fed up. He left. He came back. So what? I don't think he owes you or anyone an explanation no matter how respectfully you ask. Glad to have him back personally. His contributions are appreciated by many.
Hopefully we find out soon....
One day you pump one day you dump. That's fine at least we now know your agenda. Currently you are dumping but eventually you'll be back to pumping. Thank you for your contributions.
Tried to buy at .42 but couldn't get filled. Who is doing all the buying????
I am invested for the long haul. the technology is there. Somebody will want it. Somebody will pay for it. I am disappointed but this isn't the first time they have had challenges regarding financing nor is it the first time they have paused the development. It's a long hard road. It's not easy to stomach.

Although this is from 2013 I think the Technology that makes this possible will be applicable to Sport and may be part of the recent Colombia/ fowler patent. In the write up it mentions the use of a camera and light source on the snake arm.
Examples include technologies for snake robots licensed to industry, technologies for micro-surgery of the retina which lead to the formation of AURIS Surgical Robotics Inc., the IREP single port surgery robot which has been licensed to Titan Medical Inc. and serves as the research prototype behind the Titan SPORT (Single Port Orifice Robotic Technology).

The key to this paper is smart imaging technologies,” says W. Douglas Boyd, who specializes in robot-assisted heart surgery at the UC Davis Health System. “This is where the huge leap of advancement in these autonomous systems will be.”
In theory, adding such a camera and porting the software over to an existing platform should not be too hard. So is anyone interested? “Definitely. Yes yes yes,” says Dennis Fowler, executive vice president at Titan Medical, which is making a surgical system to compete against the da Vinci.
There are many videos of IREP on YouTube. Here is one check out part 3 about 2 min in. You may better be able to appreciate the potential of SPORT's capabilities after watching a few of these.
Agree. This was just granted and hasn't been pr'd by Titan. It may require licensing from Columbia not sure?? Seems like it would allow the surgeon to see behind tissues that are only reachable via very flexible snake arms.
Credit to timesyours.
Check out this patent by fowler and Columbia. Granted July 19 2016. Is this what will make the procedure referenced by the world leading liver surgeon possible?

What are you talking about. All of that info was shared after the AGM. Next time consider going yourself.
If there were enough votes to vote JH out. Surely we would have the votes to vote down going private.
Also remember the platform described by Gary Pruden at Ethicon and Scott H is verbally identical to the Titan platform. No way in hell you take a potential competitor for a backstage tour. No way.
There is something there and it's more than just a handshake.
Prior to Scott H's taking the CEO role with verb he was on the board of directors at TRXC. Tell me why JH et al had sessions (plural) with Scott and Dave at Sages unless there is significant interest in a relationship between the organizations. He certainly wasn't just stopping by the booth to say hello.
Wonder why they took the new analysis and valuation off the Titan website. Also the Agm video doesn't appear on the website. How did you know it was on Vimeo??
Discussed at AGM
They never officially PR'd Plexus as the manufacturer did they? Wonder why??
Keynote presentation next week by dr Advincula at gym Conf NYC.
KEYNOTE ADDRESS: DAVID AND GOLIATH
Where’s David and the Future of Robotics in Gyn Surgery?
Million dollar question. Who is David?????
Have you looked at recently published (2016) ethicon patents? Specifically the drawings of how their distal tips attach and what they attach too?
