We heard earlier that one could be looking at 10,000 procedures a year and then if 70% happen before ten weeks, one is looking at potentially 7,000 doses of product. Would that be considered a niche market? I am concerned about the small population size and price and being caught in January having to pay. Is ten or 100 people niche?
