I am not a materials engineer nor have I done any research for stints, so I couldn't tell you if our formula would have the same performance. I guess that disclaimer should have been part of my post.
I think the market could be huge and it's probably worth some R&D. We are already working on FDA clearance for our formula in another invasive medical device, so perhaps this could be another possible application.
I think its not just Alloy Formula, its about Manufacturing Patents for BMG .. of ANY Alloy Formula, LMT owns 100% of CIP, Any Company that wants to use their BMG Alloy Formula AND Injection Molding Machines, Needs to talk to LMT First.
