Another risky one but with a new income stream things are looking up for Sun.
Why they did not perform better last year is anyones guess.
I suppose the big boys have been let down before but this time its different .
Take a look - long term holder.....

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!

Skinny - They have been a rubbish investment although im sure the guys working there have lived the high life with trips overseas and stuff.
I wait and wait and wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well the long term chart is up... Its been a long slow investment yest but its looking its turning around this could be the year for SUN

What a day !!!

Another great start

Surgical Innovations wins five year contract with Teleflex Medical


Surgical Innovations Group plc (AIM: SUN), the designer and manufacturer of innovative medical devices, is pleased to announce a five year worldwide contract with Teleflex Medical ("Teleflex"), the designer, manufacturer and distributor of medical devices for critical care and surgical applications. The substantial contract is for the production of articulating handles with bespoke laparoscopic instrumentation.



Building upon a previous relationship, Teleflex approached SI to develop new handle technology. The articulating reusable handles have been under development by Teleflex and SI for two years and the unique, flexible nature improves the ergonomics and ease of use for surgeons performing keyhole surgery. SI retains the full intellectual property rights for the devices, subject to the rights of Teleflex to utilise the IP in the sale of the devices pursuant to the Supply Agreement. The initial roll out of the technology will be throughout Europe with the potential for expansion into the US.



Commenting on the agreement, Graham Bowland, Chief Executive Officer of SI, said: "This order represents an important milestone for our OEM business. We have been working successfully with Teleflex for more than 10 years and we are delighted to continue this successful relationship. Our in-house design, prototype and manufacturing facilities allow us to develop new and improved technologies which can be used by Teleflex to provide their surgeons with an innovative, cost effective laparoscopic device. We look forward to continuing our collaboration with Teleflex as we strive to develop new technologies to help surgeons perform less invasive surgeries."

FDA Approval for Logi Flex

Surgical Innovations Group plc (AIM:SUN), the designer and manufacturer of
innovative medical devices, is pleased to announce that it is has received
510(k) clearance from the US Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") for its Logi
Flex device.
This clearance permits the use of Logi Flex in the US market for both gastric
band deployment and other associated bariatric procedures.
Logi Flex is a Resposable articulating instrument which combines both reusable
and disposable elements - the insert is single use and the handle is reusable -
to offer surgeons a high quality and cost effective solution.
The device has a sterile insert which allows surgeons to fix gastric bands
around the top of a patient's stomach. It also has a unique slot design which
provides a positive grip on the suture allowing the band to be pulled into
position with the minimum of inconvenience.
It is estimated that 250,000 anti-obesity procedures are performed annually in
the US where obesity affects more than 60 million people, representing the
second largest cause of preventable death.
Graham Bowland, Chief Executive Officer of the Group, said: "We are delighted to
be able to announce this approval which will see the pioneering device now being
sold into the US. The majority of surgical instruments in the US are single
use; however with growing financial constraints being placed on hospital
budgets, procurement managers are continuously looking for cost effective
instrumentation and Logi Flex offers the ideal high quality, cost effective
solution."

All this good news will be reflected in the SP sooner or later!!
