Been out all day. Just got back. Tried before9.00 to get 100k . No luck. Think I'll stick for now. Looks like someone knows something! Hopefully exciting times ahead.

@buywell3 As ever, thanks for your input

[buywell3] 06/5/2023 08:15

At this point in time --- and some may say 'at long last'

The US market imo presents the greatest opportunity for Surgical Innovations to sell its products in an appreciable number and in a relative short timescale.

3 main reasons for this are :

1) Advanced Medical Solutions have recently stated that they expect to get approval for the SI designed and manufactured 'Liquiband Fix8' in the second half of this year


2) Sales look set to improve with US based SI distributor Microline , Microline have trained several sales reps to sell SI port access devices PLUS Microline have been reported as saying that they can't wait to get their hands on the latest SI 5mm Elite Trocar --- covid has slowed things down over the last 2 years . As vaccinations have now resulted in covid becoming a new disease we live with --- imo sales into the US of SI trocars by Microline should now start to pick up.

3) If CMR Surgical gain US approval then sales of Versius can begin --- the recent deal with J&J might help . Thus there is a real chance that approval could be granted in 2023.



Regarding Versius

Safe implementation of surgical innovation: a prospective registry of the Versius Robotic Surgical System

Objectives:

To describe a new, international, prospective surgical registry developed to accompany the clinical implementation of the Versius Robotic Surgical System by accumulating real-world evidence of its safety and effectiveness.

Conclusions:

Harnessing the power of large-scale, real-world registry data for routine surveillance of device performance in live-human surgery from first use will enhance the safety and efficacy outcomes of innovative surgical techniques.

Data are crucial to driving the evolution of robot-assisted minimal access surgery while minimizing risk to patients.

March 29th 2023


Chairman of Surgical Innovations, Nigel Rogers said: "Whilst the backlog of patients requiring treatment in the UK continues to increase, standing at 7.2m in December 2022, sales remain strong. Revenue in the current year to date for SI brand and Distribution sales are 9.2% ahead of corresponding period last year and the future order book is looking positive going into Q2. There is a similar picture globally however the unique selling proposition of our product portfolio, which are high performing, sustainable and cost-effective solutions, leave us well placed to address this pent-up demand and make a positive impact on the environment.



"New geographical markets are providing some significant prospects for the forthcoming year. In India, where registration was obtained earlier this year, evaluations with key surgeons in a group of Delhi based hospitals are progressing well. A new partner in Germany has seen the conversion of a new account with further evaluations scheduled.

In the US the partnership with Microline is seeing progress with a number of hospital conversions and again further evaluations are underway.

The Company continues to work with key partners to strengthen the overall growth opportunities.



"Given the multiple factors driving improved prospects for growth, the Board has increased confidence in not only the outlook for 2023 but also the longer-term growth trajectory for the Group."

Surgical Innovations already have received Medical Device Regulation (MDR) status for one group of their products

Two other groups remain

It would be nice IMO for the market to read an RNS that the second group of products have received Medical Device Regulation (MDR) status

Buywell3 I'm Wondering what this translates to in terms of shareholder returns. Although I sold the majority of my shareholding at the top several years ago, I'm disappointed at the collapse of the share price since and it's failure to recover. This company needs to be taken private or taken over as I'm afraid it offers no return in value to it's shareholders.

[buywell3] 30/3/2023 22:33

This is a must listen to video presentation of the Final results IMO




It is buywells understanding that Singer Capital have a EBITDA forecast for SUN at 0.9 Million pounds for 2023



buywell opines that due to the pent up demand in the US and Japan for 5mm Elite trocars and optical trocars --- plus new orders from India/Germany/other countries due to new market penetration by way of gaining entry to new hospital sales of SI devices on the back of CMR Surgical sales which of course include the 5mm Elite trocar and the optical trocar plus consumables = Add on sales of other existing SI instrumentation and EH offerings plus consumables for both ongoing

Due to this buywell is forecasting more than 1M profit for 2023

Double that for 2024 as EU, US and APAC market penetration increases with MDR completed and the new Logi range of graspers and cutters gets added = 2024 profit 2.5 Million pounds

Then we have the AMS expected sales of LiquibandFix8 in the USA --- starting soon

This alone could be transformational if PMA is given by the US later this financial year

Assuming a profit of 1M the P/E for SUN would be 19.12 at todays Mkt Cap

At a 2024 2.5M profit the SUN forward P/E would be 7.6

[buywell3] 29/3/2023 22:36

Look at this Final results presentation slides just made available




Sales look set to accelerate from here into the rest of 2023

Market Environment – USA

• YelloPort™ Elite 5mm and Optical trocar
expected to have strong impact on US sales this
year
• Momentum now growing with some early
account conversions



Market Environment – UK

• New account conversions underpinned by
sustainability driving growth
• Investment in key Sales & Marketing
positions enhancing relationships in NHSSC*
and private sector
• Growth continues into Q1 with sales YTD up
on 2022



Market Environment – EU


• Strong return to growth, +28%
• Sustainability resonates in
some key market
• Sales & Marketing training has
renewed partner focus
• New Distributor in Germany
beginning to gain traction



Market Environment – APAC

• Continued growth up 24.6%
• Japan underpins sales in the
region and registration for
5mm Optical in Q4 will provide
further opportunity
• India will have positive impact
on 2023




Market Environment – ROW

• New distribution partner for
Canada




Market Environment – OEM Business


• Strong sales growth up 45%
• Collaboration with CMR to develop YP
Elite opens opportunity within
robotics and new territories
• Ongoing supply chain issues disrupted
sales to partners in Q1
• Strong order book for Q2


buywell notes --- this has nearly tripled since 2020 and looks set to grow further this year






2023 NPD Projects (under MDR):


• Cost down initiatives on YelloPort Elite®
range
• Extension to Logi® Resposable® range,
three new jaw configurations


buywell note

The extension to the Logi range above is expected to commence Q4 2023

At present it is just one cutter


buywell expects various grasper types to be added to the range



As buywell has posted 2024 looks set to be a bumper year if AMS LiquibandFix8 is added to the mix with PMA approval for sales to commence in the US --- could be as early at august 2023 --- sales of CMR Surgical Versius robots continues to gain traction = very good for Surgical Innovations Elite 5mm sales + consumables ongoing

[kenone] 29/3/2023 09:15

A bit disappointing, but continued slow progress. Still hopeful they will either ramp up sales significantly,and ,or get taken over sometime soon. No reason to sell just now, but don't think I will be increasing my holding either.

[buywell3] 27/3/2023 09:43

Progress being made


Monday 27 March, 2023
CMR Surgical

Versius used to perform over 10,000 cases

Versius has been used to conduct more than 10,000 surgeries spanning 130 different procedure types across 7 surgical specialties including general surgery , thoracic s , colorectal surgery , gynaecology, upper GI and urology
Almost 90% of CMR Surgical’s customer hospitals are using Versius across multiple departments ; demonstrating the versatility of the system


----------------------------------------------------------------------

The reason buywell says progress is being made because

Thursday 17th November, 2022
CMR Surgical

CMR Surgical announces more than 100 Versius systems installed globally

CMR is delivering on its commercial strategy of rapid global expansion with systems installed across the world and more than 5,000 clinical cases performed



So in 4 months the number of cases has risen from 5,000 clinical cases performed to 10,000 clinical cases performed


Extrapolating that to the remainder of this year and at a minimum one would expect 20,000 clinical cases performed , it will be more because more Versius placements are happening all the time and the uses for Versius are growing.
---------------------------------------------------------------





Regarding Surgical Innovations and CMR Surgical :

SI designed and make a novel 5mm surgical port access system for CMR Surgical




Typically 4 such port access devices are used per patient per clinical case ie 4 Verius arms are independently used one for allowing the insertion of a camera via an optical trocar and the 3 others for different types of surgical instruments



eg a real live UK NHS operation using 4 Verius arms can be viewed here



A less squeamish video here





Each SI 5mm port access device uses a one seal per patient case ie 3 seals are used per typical Versius case operation and one optical disposable trocar for the camera also made by SI

These seals are replaced after the 5mm port access has been through the NHS cleaning processes as they are reposable items --- and new seals are installed for the next patient

For 25,000 Versius clinical cases performed --- the SI seals/consumables business will be worth circa 1 Million pounds

This will be ongoing as more operations are carried out and Versius new robots installed

One would expect an initial orders for circa 500 5mm SI Port Access devices has been placed along with disposable items needed to cover 25,000 operations this year

Next year this could double IMO

Liquiband Fix8 is designed and made for AMS by Surgical Innovations

Surgical Innovations own the patent for the Liquiband Fix8 instrument

It would seem sales of this product are doing rather well






Further AMS news


Internal Fixation and Sealants

LiquiBandFix8® uses individual, accurately delivered drops of cyanoacrylate adhesive inside the body, to fix hernia meshes in place, instead of sutures or tacks.



A strong performance from LiquiBandFix8® was supported by the UK National Institute for Clinical Excellence (NICE) recommendation and the AFS acquisition as revenues increased to record levels of £4.1 million (2021: £2.6 million) an increase of 60% at reported and constant currency. The marketing expertise from AFS will be beneficial to other marketing teams and will help to increase traction in more specialist minimally invasive surgical markets.



In October 2022, AMS reported that the Premarket Approval (PMA) for LiquiBandFix8® had been submitted and accepted by the FDA. Since then, FDA engagement has been high and the process is progressing well with approval on track for H2 2023.

This would be the first product of its kind in the US and the anticipated launch in 2024 represents a significant commercial opportunity for the Company.

· Good engagement and progress with the FDA on our US LiquiBandFix8® Pre-Market Approval (PMA) with approval on track for H2 2023

Curious, I got an email from the Investigate Alert service this morning telling me that SUN had announced their half year profits. It did not (of course) lead me to an announcement, rather to a suggestion of an announcement that I was not privileged to see.
