I found the below an interesting piece as it talks of the top 15 acute-care hospitals in the US by gross patient revenue. It was mentioned in the half yearly a while ago that this is where UNI will be aiming to get the clinical range into:

"Unilife has continued to develop initial design specifications for the Unitract Clinical Range during this period. The development of this range of safety syringes larger than 1mL in size will help to maximize rates of market penetration within healthcare facilities such as acute-care hospitals."

The interesting part for me is the fact that the State of Pennsylvania has 4 of the top 15, including the number 1 as below. Something to watch IMO as we have the backing of the State through the government grants and even the big fella having dinner at the Governor's house:) Hopefully this support and backing will be of great benefit later on to help us gain in-roads to these facilities and their annual revenues, time will tell but a good position to be in both geographically and commercially.
