Can they make silicone condoms for people allergic to latex? Would they want to? Eventually there'd be less people allergic to latex.

And, if you read the article you posted you will note that the focus is on the hospital personnel, not patients. Hospitals are more interested in saving money than a 1 in 1 million (exageration) allergy victim. In addition many, many catheters are made out of P.E. and not latex. So please tell me again why there is a big market. Don't bother with hollow, bold statements: back it up with facts and statistics. Just how big is the demand for non-allergenic catheters in the U.S. and in which surgical procedures will they be used? How many of those procedures are done a year? Also, please explain just why AVE would be interested in ABMI's catheters? AVe's stent is already mounted on a catheter. Just where is AVE's product portfolio weak?
