Yes, full launch next year. It's going to be in the "cool looking but not clinically necessary product" quota bucket.
Every doc I've talked to about this product feels it is cool but completely unnecessary. The price is way too high for "cool".
This could be an excellent opportunity to get into competitive bariatric procedures, IF it's priced right. Unfortunately, it's "proprietary technology" so we feel the need to charge a premium. Bummer...
Thank you for contacting Covidien Quality Assurance. After extensive investigation...blah...blah...blah...user error. Next.
