Liquidmetal Technologies Inc (LQMT)

[The Paraclete]

Medical devices that contact the body on a short term basis, such as the anvil of a surgical staple machine, scalpels, forceps, parts used in the production of endoscopes, etc., will not take long for FDA approval - and some of those devices may not even need FDA approval. But an implantable device (stents, joint prosthesis, etc.), made out of a new materials will take years before they are approved. So while implantable devices could certainly result in many millions of dollars in annual revenues for LQMT, we are not likely to see that happen for years to come.
