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.
Watch this space for further EndoFLIP updates!

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!

Gastric -Band Technology
Following FDA approval for their EndoFLIP product, Medical Device developer Crospon has broken into the US market.

The World Congress of Endoscopic Surgery were presented with pilot clinical trial results for the optimum stoma size for gastric band adjustment.
Following the release in the European market in 2009, EndoFLIP will now be launched in the US market.
“Gastric banding is the fastes-growing class of bariatric surgery in the US, and we believe that EndoFLIP can bring a new science to gastric-band adjustment”, says Larry Fulton, VP Sales for the Americas.

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!

Intel Ireland or Intel Israel- where will the money go?
Intel Ireland-Whats New? For Intel Ireland the last major new project was the $2 Billion Fab 24-2 announced in May 2004 running 64 nanometer process technology (the size of wafer fab that chips are run from) . The next project announcement for investment on new semiconductor fabrication technology will likely be announced in March.
Up for competition against Ireland for this investment decision will be Israel with their FAB 28 Kiryat Gat facility located close to the border with Gaza and likely to be competing heavily both politically and financially for this project which will involve use of the latest 22 nanometer process technology.
To do so at Kiryat Gat will require almost $3 Billion in additional investment at a site that is within 15 miles (or missile range) of Gaza. This it appears is not the only concsideration given concerns over Iranian Nuclear proliferation and a possible 2nd incursion into Gaza in early summer following on from a very recent assasination of a major Hamas figure head which has led to charges of MOSAD involvement using stolen EU passports.
Yet Israel is a major contender for this investment and given Irelands current economic woes we are not flavor of the month when it comes to high labor and utility costs which threaten still to undermine our international competitiveness. So the question that is on everyones minds in Ireland and Israel is when it comes down to the wire-which location will Intel choose?
To date Intel has invested over $8billion at their Leixlip site in Kildare. Will they continue to invest or is this the end of the line? What do our readers think?
