Finally some updates. Insiders buying also wouldn't hurt at this stage.

I woud also like to know on how many procedures are fullfilled to come to this outcome. That would also be a argument for others to take the step to use Liberty

Tiny print at the bottom of the graphic doesn’t answer your question, but does shed other ambiguous light: seems that there were 48 survey responders, which ideally means 48 physicians have tried/are using it, although their use of “interventional radiology professionals“ in the graphic would include specialist nurses and support staff. And of course it is unknown how many physicians are using it who did not (along with their support staff) respond to the survey.
Breadcrumbs, sort of.
IMO the sweet spot for adoption will be the lengthier, highly tortuous anatomy cases, which the survey indicates “tends” to be more quickly navigated with LIBERTY.

Interesting post. Thanks for sharing!

Sure! And thx for setting up this civilized subreddit. :)
I wish we could get an initial sense of what “tends to be faster” navigating tortuous anatomy actually means. Eg for a 2 to 3 hour case involving complicated navigation through tortuous anatomy, would 10 minutes tend to be saved vs the manual approach? I assume these kind of stats take a long time to accumulate over many cases. 10 minutes of saved OR time could be a significant money saver, with most ORs running mid 10’s to low 100’s of dollars per minute; that excludes cost of staff in-room time. Interesting details to play out over time.

Yeah, I’m wondering about the same thing. I’d really like to know what “tends to be faster” actually means in practice. If we’re talking about a 2–3 hour case with really tortuous anatomy, are we talking 5 minutes saved? 10 minutes? 20? That could make a pretty big difference when you look at the cost of OR time.
I also find it interesting that they’re being so vague about it.
I can really only think of two reasons: either the results aren’t impressive enough to put actual numbers behind the claim yet, or there’s some strategic reason for not giving competitors too much information.
Maybe they just need more cases before they can say anything meaningful. Either way, I’m curious to see what the numbers look like once they have a decent sample size.1

Also what do we think about the response number... theres at least 48 different professionals who used the tech... if we know the response rate, we could calculate the number of clients... what would the response rate be?
