I presume you mean a spin on their RF, Tyco did the same, spinoff the division with electrosurgical within. Both, to max leverage with the direction Electrosurgical is heading in,,, UP UP and away!.

Ours will also. The up curve on RF is really just getting started, and the market is being flooded with the same old thing by those two companies.

With the most advanced bi-polar technology, and to a large degree, creating its own market by making so many applications possible in fusing/welding organs, I see how the cutting via rf burn, standard sealing, cauterizing and ablation are in truth, not the prime purpose of the VAD, even though it outperforms in some of those functions.

It's not easily understood for some folks till one breaks out the statements the co. passes along. One would think RF is the competition. As we've seen in the PRs, our competition is sutures, glue and staples. Big open fields that Rf has not filled yet.

So, absolutely yes, all the RF mfgs. would like to obtain those markets. In affect, grow or die. No doubt Don will hear
more and more from the "competitors". Those we actually don't compete with, as we stand to the most part outside the current application markets.

When I first saw the resect tools, I felt the same as when my first understanding of satilite radio came to be. Those tools have what I forsee in the RF knives. Goosebumps! As in one day millions of units anually. Those Knives, though shown in the Mad Max presentation, were not included in the representative dollar market potential, as some other tools were not mentioned at all.

The best inventions create their own market, and imo, LTC is doing just that.
