DurAVR and AVR in the AFR today! (Plus Bioshares), page-28

Just an observation based on the latest video. I hate the idea of valves being touched too much. Competitor valves having 800 sutures which, like Meduri observed, introduces variability in quality - I just can't believe a person suturing that many sutures can guarantee the same level of quality from valve to valve.

Also, looking at the cost side, if somebody is being paid say $100/hr to manufacture that's like $1,600 (8 hour shift, 2 days to manufacture) to manufacture a competitor valve versus our $200 (2 hours to manufacture our valve).
