Something that not many yet talk about but is in fact the WHALE in the room namely
long term Covid



-------------------- NHS NEW 'LONG COVID' CLINICS ------------------




The NHS planned to open 40 'long COVID' CLINICS in November 2020 to treat a perceived 60 thousand patients/sufferers


15 November 2020


The NHS will launch a network of more than 40 ‘long COVID’ specialist clinics within weeks to help thousands of patients suffering debilitating effects of the virus months after being infected.

The clinics, due to start opening at the end of November, will bring together doctors, nurses, therapist and other NHS staff to physical and psychological assessments of those experiencing enduring symptoms.

The condition, which is thought to affect more than 60,000 people in the UK, can cause continuing fatigue, brain fog, breathlessness and pain.

buywell says --- to be fair everone is learning about long COVID on the job or put another way , we still don't know just how many organs and parts of the body Covid-19 affects. Every individual will in effect be left with various forms of long COVID depending upon the amount of viral load they took on when becoming infected and the variant strain.

So a multiplicity of symptoms and consequences for each person that catches Covid-19 , and 30% of who it is now thought, then suffer from long COVID

So the 60,000 number above became circa 300,000 plus in Jan 2021
htps://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-oxfordshire-55668650
and medical experts and advisers are talking about 1M long COVID sufferers coming


long COVID is also hurting the staff , the nurses and doctors within the NHS as many of them are also becoming sufferes

So it would seem that the number of long COVID Clinics looks set to increase dramatically both in number , so as to cover the whole of the UK --- but also in size and presumably the range of services that they will have to offer different patients

Already that 40 long Covid clinic number is on the way to doubling and looks set to continue to double to meet long COVID demands.


'long COVID' also referred to as 'long haul COVID' in the USA and folks there hence being termed 'long haulers' America has the same problem as the UK and the EU as the UK Variant spreads becoming the world dominant strain in the next week.

The BMJ in the UK published a study recently titled :

Long covid: Damage to multiple organs presents in young, low risk patients

17 November 2020

The study enrolled participants at two UK sites in Oxford and London between April and August 2020. Two hundred and one individuals (mean age 44 (standard deviation 11.0) years) completed assessments after SARS-CoV-2 infection a median of 140 days after initial symptoms.

It was found that:

The most commonly reported ongoing symptoms—regardless of hospitalisation status—were fatigue (98%), muscle ache (88%), shortness of breath (87%), and headache (83%). There was evidence of mild organ impairment in the heart (32% of patients), lungs (33%), kidneys (12%), liver (10%), pancreas (17%), and spleen (6%).

Two thirds (66%) of participants had impairment in one or more organ systems and there was evidence of multiorgan impairment in a quarter (25%) of individuals, with varying degrees of overlap across multiple organs.

The above terrible outcomes (in buywells opine ) was obtained on the study where these 201 people :

prevalence of pre-existing conditions was low (obesity: 20%, hypertension: 6%, diabetes: 2%, heart disease: 4%), and less than a fifth (18%) of individuals had been hospitalised with covid-19.




So the cohort in the study where better than normal folks re UK obesity rates and heart disease and only 18% of them had been hospitalized.


buywell can see the need for HUNDREDS of long COVID clinics and the need for medical support/care/equipment at peoples homes for hundreds of thousands of people under the umbrella of newly created long COVID carers --- is imo a given

Add up this % list of major shareholders --- many of whom bought in at 3p to 4p



It's a big number isn't it ---- not a lot left for sale for them as wants em when good news breaks, and the Institutions are loyal and soon buywell believes that others will want in as MIS increases and robotic MIS becomes ever more necessary in a Covid-19 world

And the Directors of EH who also got shares valued at 3p when Elemental Healthcare was acquired by Surgical Innovations

Since then several good distribution deals have been announced/new 3rd party products added to the EH ever growing website to sell into the UK plus new SUN products coming to market with relevant IP and more to come.

The new CEO and COO plus their new appointees have now imo found their feet














ps
Expect Dexter Robot NHS news soon plus more robotic news

[kenone] 22/3/2021 14:22

The trades showing as sells at 2.7999 are buys. Well mine is .

[kenone] 22/3/2021 12:26

I think under 4p must be a buy. As for under3p - well I just topped up my holding at a smidge under 2.8 p. Still well undervalued this now.

[buywell3] 22/3/2021 09:14

Yes buywell has already said that weeks ago on here

With the chart and reasons as to why

See BUY thread

[sharetips] 22/3/2021 09:13

more good news for the company with this agreement - tipped in cityconfidential in January and they reckon the shares could go back to 4p!

RNS

Another Great Distribution deal and 3p beckons

Microline owned by Japanese Mega Group HOYA worth gazillions $$$$

buywell adds Microline to possible acquirers of SUN as they add to their IP



Surgical Innovations Group plc (AIM: SUN), the designer, manufacturer and distributor of innovative medical technology for minimally invasive surgery ("MIS"), announces that its wholly owned subsidiary, Elemental Healthcare Ltd ("Elemental") has signed an additional three-year exclusive GB distribution agreement with Microline Surgical Inc. ("Microline") for the distribution in Great Britain of Microline instruments.

Based near Boston, MA, U.S.A. Microline designs, manufactures and distributes high quality instruments aimed at the MIS market. Its portfolio of products is complementary to those offered by SI with a focus on the Resposable (TM) ethos of cost and sustainability. Elemental has a long established relationship with Microline, and recently announced a new 5-year USA distribution agreement with Microline for the Company's range of YelloPort+Plus(TM) and YelloPort Elite(TM) Access Devices..

Adam Power, Surgical Innovations Group Development Director, says:

"We are very pleased to announce an exclusive agreement for a further three years to sell products manufactured by Microline Surgical. Microline is Elemental Healthcare's longest standing distribution partner as well as our largest, and shares the philosophy of sustainability in its products which will play such an important part in hospital decision-making in the years to come."

Isabelle Huysmans, General Manager Microline BV commented:

"We are extremely happy to confirm the extension of the exclusive agreement for the next three years with our trusted partner, Elemental Healthcare, who embrace and embody our vision and values completely. Together we will continue to work passionately on sustainability to provide solutions to improve the quality of life for everyone. "

Extended relationship with microlne in the UK

[buywell3] 18/3/2021 09:20

The list of Institutional Investors in SUN reads better than some FTSE100 stocks

The percentage of SUN that is owned by these larger Investors is now very large

So getting shares for the PI in any quantity is not too good and as better news of Distribution deals comes that gets harder still eg expect news re Dexter and other Robotics soon

The market in the USA for Fix8 in 2023 will imo earn SUN about $1M

Which means according to my maths === see previous posts re Trocar sales and SUN surgical instrument sales with USA Distributors Microline and Alder ( both 5yr deals)

Means SUN should in buywells opine be turning over circa $6M plus from the USA alone in 2023

That is without new products which will be coming to market over the next 12 months -- Trocars and others

This stock has only just started to play catch up imo

That AMS has not moved to acquire it at these levels has surprised buywell , when Fix8 has FDA approval in 2022 --- then the Mkt Cap of SUN should have risen a fair bit higher than it is today

[jmf69] 18/3/2021 08:33

2.88 paid for 347k

[buywell3] 17/3/2021 21:23

yes it is called the buywell effect lol

SUN along with its Elemental Healthcare acquisition which by the way have a very good new website with a lot of new products added


Plus re buywell's posts on here and on the BUY thread about Covid-19/Obesity/Bariatric Surgery



When aerosol spread is recognized by the CDC and WHO and EMA etc as the biggest cause of Covid-19 transmission --- then the focus on the super spreaders ie obese people 20% of whom in a recent study were responsible for over 80% of the aerosol output of the entire group --- actions to reduce obesity by bariatric keyhole surgery ie proactive and quick --- will be needed as Covid-19 keeps mutatin and producing more transmissible and lethal variants

Check out these products



SUN imo is cheap at this share price as it is and has been a profitable company in a good niche market where barriers to entry are now very high.

Plus as recent RNS's have shown , SUN is recognized as a quality maker and supplier of MIS (keyhole) surgical instruments and materials and devices needed to carry out such surgery --- their NHS sales imo are helping hugely now in gaining sales traction in the USA and ROW


4p chartwise in imo very doable --- buywell notes the Advanced Medical Solutions (AMS) LiquiBand Fix8 initiative in America is coming along, today AMS said:


'The clinical trial for the LiquiBand Fix8 (R) US Pre-Market Approval process is progressing well and both trial results and surgeon feedback has been positive. It is expected that patient procedures will be complete in 2021 followed by FDA filing in 2022. US approval would be a significant milestone for the Group, being the first product of its type to enter the $250 million US hernia fixation market. '

'This positive progress supports efforts to secure more specialist partners for LiquiBand Fix8 (R) which is expected to drive much stronger growth for this category globally as elective surgery volumes recover. '



buywell has long held the opinion that AMS could be a buyer of SUN as it has recently renewed the rights to sell LiquBand Fix8 instrument which is made by SUN and remember SUN 100% own the IP of the device ---- but there are now several others

[xylemflow] 17/3/2021 20:41

I wonder if there is something going on?
