James -
Orthovisc *is* a year off.
The O/A target market for Synvisc/Orthovisc is * I think * about 7,000,000 out of a 16,000,000 total market.
This is my estimate of Stage I , II , III O/A.
At just *275,000* 1st time users, BIOX gross sales are roughly $48,000,000. And at *just* 550,000 1st time users BIOX gross sales are at $96,000,000.
IOW, the potential market is so big, that competition HELPS get the word out. Helps get more potential customers trying it quicker. And forces AHP to keep on top of things.
