....and what's your background?
....have you seen it?
How would a partnership affect the share price as compared to a buyout?
On LinkedIn their are some interesting connections between certain people at Ethicon and Titan. Also, during my 12 yrs as a general surgeon I've worked with certain people at Ethicon, training at their facility in Cincinnati etc., who I know personally, and are now high ranking individuals at Intuitive.
My guess would be Ethicon.
Remember, SPORT will be marketed to smaller hospitals and surgery centers.
Also, I was told that the Xi was for "Big hospitals with a lot of volume" is that what you are hearing from the reps? Reason I bring this up is because I was upset with intuitive launching the new robot after my "small community hospital" bought an Si last year. So I guess smaller hospitals are never supposed to have access to an advanced single site robotic technology in their world!
Very true about treatment protocols. Urologist groups are investing in Cyberknife technology because that's where prostate cancer treatment is going. Which makes me wonder why Intuitive would pursue prostatectomies for the SP.
Nice find. They've already started human trials. Any urologists on the board with an opinion?
So did I!
Do you know if he/she will be testing the frozen design which should be completed in late summer/fall?
That sounds very legit considering what Dr. Fowler told me before he started working full time for Titan. Now his lips are sealed....understandably so.
Can you say how long ago SPORT was tested by the surgeon?
Can someone sticky this?
I understand. Great news....if true.
Can you give his name or location?
The diagram looks like it only has 2 arms and a camera. Am I missing something?
I would suggest that all the impatient and new members on the board look at points post #8083 on 5/23/14. Probably the best and most informative post to date. Point, will you be attending the next meeting?
Which article did you write on seeking alpha? Can you offer the link? I can only find points article.
Bulls just won on CNBC.
That makes sense.
This board is great comic relief, entertainment, and education all at the same time. Who needs Facebook when you have the Titan Medical message board. On a serious note does anybody know if SPORT is being designed at the Ximedica branch in RI or Minnisota. I know an executive of a company in Minneapolis, Minnesota. I might ask him to do some digging. Thanks.
Dr. Wolf does not do robotics. He was brought on board for influence in the medical community.
This is probably not going to change anybody's opinion but in this industry secrecy appears to be the nature of the beast. When Intuitive rolled out the Xi, one of the regional managers in Intuitive (a total of about 6-8 in the company) told me that he knew nothing about the Xi until it was unveiled at a meeting. This is also when everyone knew about it and I and other surgeons received the email announcement. I don't like either it but that's just the way it is. Investor or not investor, no one is going to know anything until they are ready to tell.
I just did.
True.
Well...I do know that Titan medical has had meeting with financial institutions on New York...polisock lives in New York (maybe). So there could possibly be some slight truth to it.....the plot thickens!
Where?
If there is any big news, it's financial not technical.....Right polisock?
I don't understand why you guys cannot give us this info. This is an anonymous message board. No one knows who you are. You have nothing to lose by telling us. Having trouble believing this.
I can understand that. Where are you located?
Are you an intuitive rep?
My 15 yo daughter plays it a lot. I scolded her at first but since I've bought shares and making money I'm more lenient.
Posilock I thought you first learned of Titan from a neurosurgeon who was treating your wife for migraines not to long ago.
Waiting for a pullback.....
What about the SEC investigation? Any concerns?
How many shares outstanding?
Yes. 3 arms may look sexier but not always more practical. Think about the cost. Costs are very important in this current environment. What would be more cost-effective building a robot with three arms or training an assistant who is already being paid to be on the OR, to be an excellent retractor/suction/holder......?
Yes and I believe it will.
