Just a quick comment to add: In many ways, what we're doing would probably not have been possible ten years ago. The markets were different, and so was the technology that enables us to implement changes to support and training. In addition, technologies that are facilitating rapid prototyping in other industries are just as essential to cutting down development time and costs for medical devices.
By removing the need to support large support staffs, and reducing our sales team requirements by aiming at markets outside of large hospital institutions, we are able to keep our overhead low compared to the competition.
I hope that makes thing a bit more clear, but happy to elaborate if you like!
