Hi DPO, As I see it, the major effortsto get AVHC viably on the road have only been in force for about 4 months. Prior to that, the ebb and flow appeared to be more the typical shuffle for who's going to get rich on the insider stock. That collection of personalities has been disposed of, to the best of my understanding. Now, it's "..FULL SPEED AHEAD.."!! Cost = equals a good question..!! Looking at the general design and construction and lack of ultra-hightech complexity, I presumed they would be reasonably competitive with any efforts to duplicate them (..Taiwan knock-offs..). But, I'll have to put your question on my list. I'm going to be pretty swamped on Monday, so you may want to make that call to the (800) number yourself and perhaps post your findings. Hospitals will be interested not only for possible inpatient treatment, but for outpatient care and allowing people who need no other particular care to return home and treat themselves or with assistance from their families or home nursing professionals - freeing up bed space. Ford-Goodson is actively pursuing those markets across the southern half of the country as we speak. I got the impression from IR recently that the EU market is of considerable interest also. It would follow that Third World countries, where air-conditioning and air filtration is not so prevalent would be a great place to market the hyperbaric chambers - enhancing the sterility of open wound care. The larger markets appear to be elderly care facilities and in-home care, since the hyperbaric chambers are small, portable and easy to use; avoiding the need for people to go to the hospital.
