Why they did not perform better last year is anyones guess.

Contract win with leading US Group Purchasing Organisation
for laparoscopic instrumentation


Surgical Innovations Group plc (AIM: SUN), the designer and manufacturer of
innovative medical devices, is pleased to announce that its US Master
Distributor, Surgical Innovations US Inc. ("SI USA"), has signed a three year
agreement with one of the largest Group Purchasing Organisations ("GPO") in the
US, effective from 1 February 2010.


GPOs help hospitals reduce costs by aggregating volume to negotiate favourable
purchasing terms with vendors. The agreement provides an opportunity for SI,
through SI USA, to gain access to the GPO's 2,200 member hospitals in the
US with its Resposable laparoscopic instrumentation portfolio, Logi Range, an
ergonomic system which combines reusable handles with disposable scissor blades
and graspers. This provides surgeons with high quality, but cost effective
instruments, for performing laparoscopic surgery.


Commenting on the agreement, Graham Bowland, Managing Director of Surgical
Innovations Limited, said: "This agreement with one of the US's leading GPOs
strengthens SI's strategy of developing the Logi Range brand through our
collaboration with SI USA. The 2,200 member hospitals represent a considerable
proportion of all US hospitals, therefore the agreement provides us with
significant access to the US laparoscopic instrumentation market, which is
estimated to be worth $150 million per annum. We look forward to seeing
substantial sales growth of the Logi Range as member hospitals are introduced to
the brand."

Been some nice steady rises

One to tuck away in your bottom drawer!!

Yes I've held these since April 2000!

Ive been in since heaeomecell way before 2000!!!!!!!!!!!!!

since 1993, before heaeomecell was introduced!

before big bang and the begining of time!!

Its been a grim wait to be honest.... this particular rise is down to press comment in the YEP!! nothing more - dont expect any fireworks any time soon!!

I was suprised to see they were still in existence. I can't remember exactly what I paid form them, but looking at a 10year chart, I guess somewhere near where they are now!
