PDPR ... Pediatric Prosthetics, Inc
Sub penny play that I got an early morning alert on from a group play. The last two they sent out went off like rockets.
Buyer beware... Group plays run fast in both directions. They have more than likely been slowly front loading this one and will push some buys through to start their sell. It could be a nice gainer but be sure to take profit when its there.

PDPR AND GROUNDBREAKING MYOELECTRIC TECHNOLOGY
Myoelectric upper extremity prostheses are the state of the art. In the absence of a hand or arm, the child's brain still continues sending signals to "grasp" or "open" the hand in the residual limb. Myoelectric sensors can read those signals through the skin (requiring no surgery) and with the computer chip magnify those signals many fold to actuate the tiny powerful motor to accomplish the task.
Infants and children learn to open and close their "myo" on command in an astonishingly short period of time. Within a matter of a few days, the myo becomes almost an unconscious part of them, opening and closing with an almost unconscious thought.
The prostheses utilizing this technology are designed to be extremely life-like and non-threatening. The response to them by playmates and parents is usually "isn't that neat!"
PDPR has begun instituting some of these ground-breaking myoelectric technology research and development to see if it is equally as effective with lower extremity prosthetics as well.
THE INDUSTRY
The national prosthetics industry is estimated at nearly $2 billion annually and is extremely fragmented. In this fragmentation, PDPR has developed a strong niche by focusing on the infant-pediatric prosthetics segment. This segment requires specialized expertise to meet the needs of these babies and their families.
PDPR is the only infant-pediatric prosthetics company focusing on the unique needs of these babies born with a limb loss.
