The Rising Influence of Rising Affluence

VCEL - knee cartilage scaffold for sports injuries and skin scaffold for burn victims. Anybody here looked at this space? Appreciate comments and thoughts if so. Company has ~$2/sh in cash and ~$1.7/sh in sales with high GM. 3 yr cagr of 15%+ with less than 10% penetration. Age limit is 18-55 (pre knee replacement). Watching HS football game a few weeks ago in football country where there must have been half a dozen kids limping off with lower leg injuries throughout the game reminded me to look at this. That plus a price alert today.
