It's hard to find a good company in this sector that is not over bought, and going sideways, or one that is completely a speculative play. There looks to be some potential in ANPI.

They are in the high margin niche medical device equipment area. Insider buying in the last few months. Reporting earnings August 6th. They have several products. Approved products are: Drug-Eluting coronary stents with Boston Scientific; Vitagel surgical hemostat with Orthovita; CoSeal surgical sealant with Baxter;Medical Device Products, over 5,000 SKUs. In clinical trials Bio-Seal Biopsy Tract Plug; Option Vena Cava Filter; Ani-Infectgive HemoStream Dialysis Catheter; and MultiStem Stem Cell Therapy. Financing has been tough and they have approval to issue more stock within the next two years.

This company is trying hard to fight through the recession. Pure speculation and just keeping my fingers cross. Before you know it, it will be in the $20 range. Please find cure for cancer.

Angiotech survived lows of 0.1 on viability concerns after taking on enormous debt to buy American Medical. While the soundness of that decision remains questionable. the stock recently brought 25-fold return to those who bought at the low. The share price has now withdrawn substantially from recent highs even as the company is looking more financially stable with improving stent royalty revenues and approval of additional devices. As long as they don't go BK, they should rise again from here.

First of all I have a very small position in this company. I based this position of my professional use of one of its products: Quills self retaining sutures. This is a great product that will probably grow in its use. I know this company has struggled with debt and reduced stent income, but I would still consider it a buy.

Nice niche market.

Promising product line on the expanding edge of this trend. Beaten to a pulp at this point. Time to buy.

Been beaten down badly and set for a rebound soon.
