health related supplies are extraordinarily expensive. Sometimes I think they have lawsuit funds already built in....
The bill for my implant was $55K of which the major part was for the device itself. Thank heavens for supplementary health insurance !!!!
That being said, I have many docs as customers and they bring some intersting gear at times. One brought some coax from an MRI room being refurbished and upgraded. Armored copper clad aluminum with a copper clad aluminum inner wire, very similar to the stuff JPS labs used. It actually sounded better than the JPS stuff.
Another brought in some wire from an ultrasound rooms. Pure silver litz wire somewhat in a Cat 5 configuration but marger gauges and more of them. Claimed the hospital was charged $1.5K per foot or something like that ( wire was made in Japan). Made an IC but it sounded lousy, although I would ave loved to experiment further with it...
