thanks Kawasaki,
you summarised the situation very concisely, the interview with Blue box medical went very well today, I like your comment about them being freindly, I have also recognised the questions you raise but the opportunities (and risk) of a start up are interesting we shall see how the subsequent interviews proceed.
Edwards would be my traditional choice strong clinical support but small fish in big pond whereas blue box might be big fish in small pond.
I appreciate your reply and will keep the forum posted on my progress.
I have experience of the "big company" as I was a product manager at Tyco Healthcare for nine years with DVT prevention products Intermittant Pneumatic Compression and antiembolism stockings, prior to my move into teaching.
Thanks
