With some really greatproducts in healthcare. Open wounds being the hardest to treat in the elderly, and in times of war. These products are becoming a great necessity in this world. Competition watch out, there is alot of room for growth here.

Excellent at what they do which is negative pressure wound therapy that is the most advanced way to heal a wound. Doctors that are progessive minded really use this product when it is needed.
Competitors in this field do not have the smae type of material as KCI's and KCI really keeps their name and propducts in the forefront of hospitals.

According to data on the scorecard this is a good buy long term to outperform even at $30 so at $21 its a steal, and though it was an even better deal in early March, it is still a bargain in my book. Also health care is in serious need of streamlining in the US and this company and our new pres elect are the guys to get it done. Once Healthcare is fixed it will have ripple effects thought our whole economy but this stock will be one of the first to see the bump.

I've witnessed the wound vac in action and it's results are very impressive. I didn't think there was any way to make a wound heal so fast!

I would love to get my hands on this business sans the gross balance sheet, but it would seem that the company produces more than enough free cash flow to keep up with its debt obligations. Recession or not, I can't see people skipping proper wound care...

Like the nature of the business in the long-term economic and demographic climate. Like the R&D focus. Like the mgmt & board commitment. When I orignally made my call, thought it was a decent mid- and long-term investment. After the recent pop, may be a bit too rich at the time I write this pitch, but I like this business longer term so long as mgmt holds to vision and strategy and doesn't struggle with acquisition integration.
