Success for EndoFLIP!

Success for EndoFLIP!

Cropson’s EndoFLIP has had it’s first use in a new weight loss surgery technique, known as gastric imbrications.

The reversible gastric imbrications technique is a unique procedure that needs no device implanted or no tissue removed from the stomach.

The potential for success in the US is quite realistic, given the popularity for weight loss surgery in the US.

“The EndoFLIP device has the avility to change the way we do bariatric surgery all over the world” says Dr Daniel Cottam, “There has been nothing as revolutionary as this device since the lap band”.
Cottam added “I believe in five years we won’t know how we ever did bariatric surgery without it”.

EndoFLIP technology “fills an important need for the gastric imbrications procedure, namely providing visual feedback to the surgeon “, John O Dea, CEO Crospon as said.

Once again, we wish Crospon the very best of luck with their venture in the US.

Eland to sell off EDT

Eland to sell off EDT

 

Plans to sell Elan’s drug technology business EDT may rise a portion from when Kelly Martin aimed to sell in 2008.

 

Elan’s EDT is said to be worth $900m should it float on the US Stock market. Elan almost sold off for $1.4bn in 2008 with a number of equities reaching the second round of bidding.

Between the collapse of Lehman Brothers and financial panic, the deal was scuppered.
Here’s hoping the deal goes their way this time around!

Facebook or Google

Thursday, March 18th, 2010
Facebook V Google?

Facebook V Google?

Facebook or Google.. which do you use most in a day?

New figures have been released in the USA to say that Facebook was the most visited site, hitting the number 1 spot last Christmas. Share prices have even increased in both, giving Facebook the upperhand with 186pc compared to Google’s 9pc.

With all this in mind it comes to question the phenomenon that is Social Networking.

  • Are you an avid Facebook user?
  • Is Google set as your homepage purely because a quick few letters gives you access to anything you want to see?

You cannot put Facebook and Google in a direct comparison as they both do completely different things for you, as are both are an invaluable tool for your internet usage. It does beg to differ, however, how we do business these days.

Where I personally am a Facebook user, I find Linkedin to be Facebook’s business counterpart from a connections point of view.  In the recruitment world and in addition to our own website, Social Networking is also a key part of our advertising…. we are on Linkedin, Twitter and Facebook giving out Job Alerts!

When you see reports and figures published like these it really is proof that this year, Facebook and Google are the ones to go with!
