You need to invest in what you believe in. I am a paramedic so I see cath labs all the time in that I take pts to them. Catheter emplacements are a NEEDED operation, it saves your life. So this company's "moat" is both it's revolutionary tech and the necessity of its product. The HUGE push in emergency medicine these days is "door to balloon", this means hospitals are just now pushing for quicker cath times. The longer a pt has a blockage (heart attack) the worse that pt will be. "Balloon" stands for the catheter being blown up and thus remove the blockage in the pt's heart. if the Niobe system does it in half the time as a traditional cath operation (and HNSN), you can bet that hospitals and insurance companies will be pushing for this system. I am a bull for this company for these reasons.
