I would like to think that we must be close to the ISO issues for the textile business which i understand will be required before testing. Next update should bring the market up to speed with where this is heading.

Unusual for me bones; so happy that I’ve added a few more today!
Unfortunately it’s not the 26k...

Good timing it would seem Andyview! Someone just weighed in with 26k at 93p paying well over the timed quote of 82-90. Have to hope the market steadies in general now.

I've long been an admirer here and so finally added an initial stake..

Biomerics has now kindly tweeted the short interview with Bill Brown that Landy90 posted a few days ago (post 3277):

On the plus side the volatility may lead to palpitations increaing demand for our products

Interesting that Aortech appears to have a Frankfurt Stock Exchange quotation in Euros, albeit no trading activity, under the ticker AOHA. I wonder if this has any significance (I haven’t a clue!):

TMK... "A quality company like AorTech International and nothing!"

That is not entirely correct. A casual search on Twitter for "AORTech" produces a little more than 'nothing'. In fact a lot more!



You could also try #AOR although that produces all sorts of other rubbish mixed in with what we are interested in!

No mention of heart-valves in the interview though !!

TMK, let’s get to 300p before the twitterati get a hold of it :)

Good afternoon All,

I really am surprised the discussion around AOR has not hit the Twitter folks? Random people with large followings who on a daily basis hashtag tickers w/complete nonsense most of the time and that stuff actually goes viral!

A quality company like AorTech International and nothing!

There's plenty subtle stuff going on in the background. Great video interview, landy90. Thanks for sharing that.

Investors and others who may not be versed in the finer details of what Aortech is doing and its progress in the last year could do a lot worse than read pages 5 to 9 of the 2019 published financial statements. You can access those here:

Cheers landy - a good start for them would be to set up a twitter handle and put up the odd tweet. These small things can make a big difference - imo.

[landy90] 21/2/2020 12:02

Someuwin
AorTech has kept very quiet these last few years as historically the old team over promised and under delivered to both the industry and markets. I read the ED note as a start of repositioning the company and would not be surprised to see other activities over the next few months.

[someuwin] 21/2/2020 11:16

Cheers bones that was what I thought. I just wondered if Foldax had something else I'd missed. I guess they're just further down the line than us and, dare I say it, better at self promotion? AOR do seem to keep their light under a bushel.

[bones] 21/2/2020 10:55

Someuwin, I think other contributors on this thread have a better handle on the technicalities of your question but, from what I can glean, Foldax (which is run by ex-Aortech CEO, Frank Maguire) uses what might be described as an older iteration of the polymer technology but have gone to market first with that “design freeze”. Whereas Aortech have spent the last year using the latest computer aided fluid flow tools and generally re-engineered the manufacturing process in a way that, in design at least, overcomes speed and quality issues of the earlier designs.

Hopefully, Aortech will have a superior product ultimately which can be produced at an industrial scale leading to materially cheaper unit costs.

This is my layman’s understanding, so don’t take as gospel, and it is all subject to testing at many stages yet.

Re Edwards Lifesciences.....I haven't checked mkt. caps (to allow for share issues) but share price of the latter was just under 11$ in 2008 and peaked at just over 240$ in late 2019. Current mkt. cap is just under 49bn$.

[someuwin] 21/2/2020 08:59

What exactly is Foldax's USP and how does that compare to our heart valve design?
