That's because B&D(Beckton Dickenson) is waiting for the market for laser lancets to come about before they even bother with the FDA on their new line of laser based lancets and other laser based products. bd.com If B&D doesn't see a need then the market is too still too small, they own this market.

You right JMAR has taken the information about the LIGHTKNIFE off their web site because B&D and JMAR own the technology rights together, and JMAR has other things to do than wait for B&D to decide when they will go to market with the technology. My point is that B&D owns this market, and what they don't have is controlled by JNJ. Plus none of the people I have talked with in the hospitals want to buy these laser lancets yet because of their high costs. I have done research on this when we at the JMAR thread were going to do will with our agreement with B&D, look at the JMAR thread posts 200 through 1500 approx. You will see what was found about this market at that time. The LIGHTKNIFE is about the size of a fat cigar and looks like one. It also has a small disposable plastic tip that shields blood from splattering on the device. The device has a life of 200K to 300K uses with an average cost of .01 cent per use, I think. It is not an issue of FDA approval it is an issue of cost and of market penetration. Brent
