Description:
My company is just me.
I am a three-time breast cancer survivor who has a patent pending in both the US & Brazil for a new type of implant. The idea has been reviewed by plastic surgeons and by the top three US implant companies - Mentor, Inamed/ Allergen, and Sientra. They have all said the idea has a lot of merit. But they have declined my idea since so much time and money is involved in getting FDA approval. They can't justify it to their shareholders.
Where do I go from here? Is there anyone out there who might be able to help me with this?
