Well that’s what the 27 month silent strategy gets you. Yes we were told we needed to be silent to protect us from the ruthless competition. I said that was BS two years ago as we had no secrets, too keep. We chose non exposure as a strategy when we should have taken off screaming after FDA clearance. Yes the CEO’s brilliant strategy was endorsed by many on this board. I said time was not our friend two years ago while being told too shut up. There was another device I caught a glimpse of on the news, it uses a virtual tour of your happy place that confuses the pain mechanism in the brain and relieves “chronic pain” yup that made the news while we sit on 100 News Outlets with 1000 of our samples sitting in their desk drawers for months and months. Shame on the enablers of this two year strategy. Yup an old guy from Jersey with a G E D education saw what the experts on the board couldn’t. Yes the Wordsmiths dazzled the board while AW went too sleep. Franks and beans with dirty water dogs for all . JMHO Have a wonderful morning.

Better read it again. Orthocore is a class two medical device which needs a doctor's prescription and cost hundreds of dollars. Hardly competition for Actipatch.

DL...interesting, haven’t seen that device either. Compared to ActiPatch, it has a lot of Warnings associated with it that ActiPAtch does not, and is not as cost effective...probably a couple of reason why we haven’t heard of it. The ActiPatch line of products is positioned to corner the market IF THEY WANT TO....what is the holdup...AW, FDA, Company Culture?
