i think surgeons are getting spooked by recalls , hips and breasts and are more liekly to use something fully tested , for safety

If what the doc says about vein stripping has or is being overtaken by clinic based treatments (presumably foam) in the UK is true then that's not necessarily good news. It would mean the foam treatments being used are homebrews as there in no approved product avalaible. Assuming these treatments are on the NHS it would also imply that the NHS considers homebrews perfectly safe, so safe in fact that veins surgeons are queing up to use them. Because Varisolve is a manufactured product it is more expensive than any homebrew. That being the case why would the NHS use Varisolve? Finally, as stated before, the real money is in self-marketing in the USA were the FDA are clearly more strict about foam than their EU counterparts.

fhm
it was my comment about acess to theatre but was in the uk.
yes good idea if anyone has us surgeons friends . i am in san francisco for meeting with surgoens but sadly not vascular ones in two weeks.

The message posted a while back about surgeons in the US getting easier access to theatre time because vein stripping had been overtaken by clinic based treatments gives me hope. All the components of Varisolve are 'safe to use' materials its just the package as a foam which is novel.
I'm more hopeful when its quiet.
Expect leaks soon - has any body got surgeon pals in the US?

[lingy] 23/1/2012 08:11

next leg up i hope

[gregmorg] 19/1/2012 17:40

Actually all the big pharma's got hit today as well. Maybe some "City Expert" downgraded the sector or similar. Does not change anything mind you.

[fhmktg] 19/1/2012 17:02

I should keep my big mouth shut!

[fhmktg] 19/1/2012 09:15

Well, that all went ok - no significant profit taking and good press reception - lets hope the IC doesn't give the kiss of death on Friday!
Onwards and hopefully upwards!

loos leader

You would not have a leg to stand on.

In the light of all this insider dealing I am scanning the recent history of the share price to see whether Varisolve PIII outcome is already known about! ;-) ll (dealing on the outside)

[bobby.ifa] 18/1/2012 11:27

Peel Hunt aren't being particularly generous!

[gregmorg] 18/1/2012 11:09

Re the last post re PH analyst. It's known as not wanting to be seen as out of step yet not knowing quite where the steps are or indeed where they lead to!

[aquila2001] 18/1/2012 10:48

FYI

Peel Hunt has raised its price target on BTG from 320p to 340p

No further information is available at this time

[lingy] 18/1/2012 09:17

be patient things will look up soon.

[bill hunt] 18/1/2012 09:03

The early wide spread of buy and sell is closing now. The high of 345 and the low of 322 would prevent many from buying and selling. The volume of shares traded is very low. Brokers and analysts will need to re-assess their positions and new brokers notes will appear in due course. The initial response in terms of share price is disappointing but the announcement was made when all markets were closed. The major influence may come from the US when they open.

[bobby.ifa] 18/1/2012 08:53

The approval was only obtained last night, so it could vave gone either way for speculators. The RNS is a ststement of fact & so logically should have pushed the share price a lot higher. Just smacks of insider dealing if it was known in advance this had received approval.

[bargainbob] 18/1/2012 08:27

Bobby ,

This was what caused the step up in price over the last month.
