Jay,
Thanks for your details, I see a JNJ rep every 3 months or so and he doesn't handle suture, he details laparoscopic instruments. I will ask for other details when he comes by.

I have two Canadian FP's on staff so I will also run their experiences by with them, both have moved to the states in the past two years so they may not have had any experience with the product. We regularly trade horror stories at meetings with them since they have already been through managed care if you will.

My experience with the products potential comes in talking with our ER docs and the FP and ER residents from Ohio State that come thru.
They all say they are eagerly awaiting the product, it is a pain to strap a screaming child to a pappoose board to sew them up.

Are you aware of any additional milestone payments from JNJ with this approval or is it cold turkey until sales are generated? Stocking the shelves and inventory will give a huge bump to their numbers at first, the true success will be the extent of additional orders.

One additional question has come to mind to anyone. I have owned this company for about 9 months now, have not received a quarterly or annual report anywhere along that time line, have you? Stock is in street name.
