CR Bard to purchase Macroplastique













Re: CR Bard to purchase Uroplasty

Buy the company instead and save us.

That would be great.We could work for a real company with real benefits and not be nickeled-and-dimed for everything.We would have an expense budget.Company policies written down in ink and not at the whim or mood of upper management.Customers would probably have more respect for us and we would not be perceived as "fly by night" and "barely hanging on".Matching 401k plan, ESPP plan, new company car/truck every two years, retirement plan (where the company pays all the fees), maybe a pension plan, decent life insurance, health insurance that does not have such a huge deductible, smaller territories, a real medical communications department that gives consistent answers, a reimbursement department that actually helps customers, managed care specialists to get our product on formularies/paid for and, mainly, a sense of security.Yes, CR BARD could provide this for us.The cost to us would be we could occassionally have to use a detail piece.It would be worth it so I could do my job better and MAKE MORE MONEY with a sense of security.
 


















But what would Uroplasty provide to C.R. Bard. A me-too injectable and a neuromodulation therapy with unclear long term benefit and uncertain reimbursement.

Bard no longer has an injectible and Macroplastique is number one in Europe. It could be number one here with more manpower. Urgent PC now has a code and reimbursement effective Jan.1, 2011. There was a long-term study published in the J of U. Get your facts straigth.
 






Macroplastique sales in Europe are a couple of Million and declining due to the introduction of Bulkamid and the general dissatisfaction with the long term outcomes of injectables. Until the actual amount to be reimbursed for Urgent PC is decided (which has not yet happened), I would consider the reimbursement "uncertain". A CPT code alone does not guarantee commercial success.

Tell that to upper management. They truly believe that physicians will be climbing over the walls to use Urgent PC.
