Speaking of "a blast from the past" and ducts and vessels, I just googled paton and tissue welding and came up with this LTC application ready to go, as it were. Not for the squeamish, mind you. Keep those match books at home. Howsoever, it's doubtless an immensely lucrative worldwide market. As Paton himself might have quipped in the Operating Theatre, "Da, moy droog, it's a gas."

It is not a matter of weather or not LTC has a superior product as I believe they do. But what I have a hard time believing is that in this market of cut-backs and health care reform, LTC can convince enough surgeons to replace what they are already using for "duct and vessel sealing", at a competitive price that will also be profitable for CTGI.

I am just not convinced that surgeons are looking for a better duct and vessel sealing device. It is hard to get people to change without showing them a drastic benefit.

To illustrate my point, I have followed several "best in class" stocks that have been struggling for several years trying to get market acceptance. One is a dentist drill replacement using laser. I keep watching them and they will probably have their day but it is a long road to market penetration even when they are a NASDAQ stock.
