Revenue Recognition [Abstract]	'
Revenue Recognition	'
	-3	Revenue Recognition
	In the United States, the Company sells its products and services directly to hospitals and clinics.  Revenue is recognized in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles as outlined in ASC 605-10-S99, Revenue Recognition, which requires that four basic criteria be met before revenue can be recognized: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (ii) the price is fixed or determinable; (iii) collectability is reasonably assured; and (iv) product delivery has occurred or services have been rendered.  The Company recognizes revenue as products are shipped and title passes to customers based on FOB shipping point terms.  The Company negotiates credit terms on a customer-by-customer basis and products are shipped at an agreed-upon price.  All product returns must be pre-approved and, if approved, customers are subject to a 20% restocking charge.
	In all international markets, the Company sells its products to international distributors which subsequently resell the products to hospitals and clinics.  The Company has agreements with each of its distributors which provide that title and risk of loss pass to the distributor upon shipment of the products to the distributor. The Company warrants that its products are free from manufacturing defects at the time of shipment to the distributor.  Revenue is recognized upon shipment of products to distributors following the receipt and acceptance of a distributor’s purchase order.  Allowances are provided for estimated returns and costs at the time of shipment.  Sales and use taxes are reported on a net basis, excluding them from revenue.
	The Company’s revenues from license agreements and research collaborations are recognized when earned.  In accordance with ASC 605, for revenues which contain multiple deliverables, the Company separates the deliverables into separate accounting units if they meet the following criteria: (i) the delivered items have a stand-alone value to the customer; (ii) the fair value of any undelivered items can be reliably determined; and (iii) if the arrangement includes a general right of return, delivery of the undelivered items is probable and substantially controlled by the seller.  Deliverables that do not meet these criteria are combined with one or more other deliverables into one accounting unit.  Revenue from each accounting unit is recognized based on the applicable accounting literature, primarily ASC 605.
	The Company currently has a license agreement with King Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (King), now a subsidiary of Pfizer, Inc., under which the Company licensed the exclusive rights of Thrombi-Pad®, Thrombi-Gel® and Thrombi-PasteTM products to King in exchange for a license fee.  The Company is amortizing the license fees on a straight-line basis over the projected 10 year economic life of the products.  The Company determines the economic life of the products under its license agreements by evaluating similar products the Company has launched or other similar products in the medical industry.  In addition, the Company had a five-year license agreement with Nicolai, GmbH in which the Company was amortizing the license fee on a straight-line basis over the five-year life of the agreement.  This agreement was fully amortized during 2013.
	Starting in January 2012, the Company began to generate revenue from selling a reprocessing service for ClosureFAST® radiofrequency catheters.  In accordance with ASC 605-45, the Company recognizes this revenue gross, with the amount paid to the supplier of the reprocessing service reflected as cost of sales.
	In addition, the Company has reviewed the provisions of ASC 808, Collaborative Arrangements, and the adoption of this ASC has had no impact on the amounts recorded under these agreements.
	In accordance with ASC 605-45-45, the Company includes shipping and handling revenues in net revenue, and shipping and handling costs in cost of sales.
	In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued guidance creating Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Section 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”.  The new section will replace Section 605, “Revenue Recognition” and creates modifications to various other revenue accounting standards for specialized transactions and industries.  The section is intended to conform revenue accounting principles with a concurrently issued International Financial Reporting Standards with previously differing treatment between United States practice and those of much of the rest of the world, as well as, to enhance disclosures related to disaggregated revenue information.  The updated guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods.  The Company will adopt the new provisions of this accounting standard at the beginning of fiscal year 2017, given that early adoption is not an option.  The Company will further study the implications of this statement in order to evaluate the expected impact on the consolidated financial statements.

	-6	Credit Risk and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
	The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments.  This allowance is regularly evaluated by the Company for adequacy by taking into consideration factors such as past experience, credit quality of the customer base, age of the receivable balances, both individually and in the aggregate, and current economic conditions that may affect a customer’s ability to pay.  The Company does not accrue interest on past due accounts receivable.  Receivables are written off only after all collection attempts have failed and are based on an individual credit evaluation and the specific circumstances of the customer.  At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the allowance for doubtful accounts was $245,000 and $150,000, respectively.
	All product returns must be pre-approved, and if approved, customers are subject to a 20% restocking charge.  The Company analyzes the rate of historical returns when evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for sales returns, which is included with the allowance for doubtful accounts on our balance sheet.  At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the sales and return allowance was $70,000 and $50,000, respectively.
	Accounts receivable are shown net of the combined total of the allowance for doubtful accounts and allowance for sales returns of $315,000 and $200,000 at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

	The Company purchases its requirements for thrombin (a component in the Hemostat products) under a Thrombin-JMI Supply Agreement entered into with King on January 9, 2007.  Under the terms of the Thrombin-JMI Supply Agreement, King agrees to manufacture and supply thrombin to the Company on a non-exclusive basis.  The Thrombin-JMI Supply Agreement does not contain any minimum purchase requirements.  King agrees to supply the Company with such quantity of thrombin as the Company may order at a fixed price throughout the term of the Thrombin-JMI Supply Agreement as adjusted for inflation, variations in potency and other factors.  The Thrombin-JMI Supply Agreement has an initial term of 10 years, followed by successive automatic one-year extensions, subject to termination by the parties under certain circumstances, including: (i) termination by King without cause any time after the fifth anniversary of the date of the Thrombin-JMI Supply Agreement upon five years prior written notice to the Company, and (ii) termination by the Company without cause any time after the fifth anniversary of the date of the Thrombin-JMI Supply Agreement upon five years prior written notice to King provided that the Device Supply Agreement, which the Company also entered into with King on January 9, 2007, has expired on its terms or the parties have agreed to terminate it.

	Boston Scientific Corporation Litigation
	On May 16, 2013, the Company filed a patent infringement complaint in the United States District Court for the District of Minnesota against Boston Scientific Corporation (Boston Scientific).  The complaint alleges that Boston Scientific has infringed three of the Company’s patents concerning rapid exchange guide extension technology by manufacturing and selling its Guidezilla™ guide extension catheter, which received FDA 510(k) clearance in March 2013.  The Company is seeking an injunction against Boston Scientific prohibiting the manufacture and sale of its Guidezilla catheter, as well as damages for lost profits and legal costs.  On June 10, 2013, the Company filed a motion for preliminary injunction asking the court to enjoin Boston Scientific’s manufacture and sale of the Guidezilla catheter during the pendency of the litigation.  On July 11, 2013, Boston Scientific filed its answer and counterclaim, alleging the Company’s patents are invalid, that the Guidezilla catheter does not infringe, and that the Company’s manufacture and sale of its GuideLiner catheter violates a U.S. patent owned by Boston Scientific that expired in June 2013.  The counterclaim seeks unspecified damages and payment of Boston Scientific’s attorney’s fees, expenses and costs.  On December 9, 2013, the District Court granted the Company’s motion for a preliminary injunction prohibiting Boston Scientific from making, using, offering for sale or selling its Guidezilla catheter during the pendency of the parties’ on-going patent infringement litigation.  The District Court delayed the effectiveness of the preliminary injunction until January 13, 2014.  On December 27, 2013, Boston Scientific appealed the District Court’s preliminary injunction order to the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit.  On April 15, 2014, the Federal Circuit vacated the preliminary injunction on appeal, holding that “at this stage of the case the record is too incomplete . . . to warrant the grant of a preliminary injunction.”  The Federal Circuit’s ruling on the preliminary injunction does not affect the underlying patent litigation, which is currently scheduled to be ready for trial on or after March 2015 in the District Court.
	Governmental Proceedings
	On June 28, 2011, the Company received a subpoena from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Western District of Texas under the Health Insurance Portability & Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) requesting the production of documents related to Vari-Lase products, and in particular the use of the Vari-Lase Short Kit for the treatment of perforator veins.  Subsequently, the Company learned that the U.S. Attorney’s Office has commenced a criminal investigation of the same matter.  The Vari-Lase Short Kit has been sold under a 510(k) clearance for the treatment of incompetence and reflux of superficial veins in the lower extremity since 2007 with total U.S. sales through June 30, 2014 of approximately $532,000 (0.1% of the Company’s total U.S. sales for such period) and has not been the subject of any reported serious adverse clinical event.  On August 14, 2012, the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas unsealed a qui tam complaint that had been filed on November 19, 2010 by Desalle Bui, a former sales employee of the Company, which is the basis for the U.S. Attorney’s civil investigation, to which the federal government, after three extensions of time, elected to intervene.  The complaint contains allegations of off-label promotion of Vari-Lase products for the treatment of perforator veins, re-use of single-use Vari-Lase products and kickbacks to physicians, resulting in alleged damages to the government of approximately $20 million.  An amended complaint limited to allegations of off-label promotion of the Vari-Lase Short Kit resulting in an unspecified amount of damages and penalties was filed by the U.S. Attorney’s Office in December 2012.  On January 22, 2014, the Company agreed with the U.S. Attorney’s Office to settle the civil lawsuit.  The terms of the settlement are that the Company will make a payment of $520,000, the Company will make no admission of fault or liability, and the U.S. Attorney’s Office will dismiss the civil lawsuit with prejudice and release all civil claims brought against the Company in the civil lawsuit.  The formal settlement agreement has been completed but has not yet been signed by the government, and therefore the $520,000 settlement payment is included in accrued expenses as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013.  Settlement of the civil lawsuit has no effect upon the criminal investigation, which is continuing.

	The Company is subject to income tax in numerous jurisdictions and at various rates and the use of estimates is required in determining the provision for income taxes.  For the six month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company recorded a provision for taxes of $3,400,000 and $2,398,000 on earnings before tax of $9,403,000 and $7,331,000 resulting in an effective income tax rate of 36% and 33%, respectively.  The difference between the effective tax rate of 36% for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate of 34% was due mainly to the impact of state taxes.  The difference between the effective tax rate of 33% for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate of 34% was due mainly to the impact of recognizing $300,000 of research and development credits in the first quarter of 2013 that had been deferred from 2012 pending Congressional action which was completed in January 2013 and the recognition of $53,000 of refundable Ireland research and development credits in the second quarter of 2013.
	The Company regularly assesses the likelihood that the deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable earnings.  The Company considers projected future taxable earnings and ongoing tax planning strategies, then records a valuation allowance to reduce the carrying value of the net deferred taxes to an amount that is more likely than not to be realized.
	The Company applies ASC 740, Income Taxes, which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions recognized in the financial statements. These provisions create a single model to address uncertainty in tax positions and clarify the accounting for income taxes by prescribing the minimum recognition threshold a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements.  ASC 740 also provides guidance on derecognition, measurement, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.  The Company has recorded an unrecognized tax benefit of $1,268,000 as of both June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013.  The impact of tax related interest and penalties is recorded as a component of income tax expense.  As of June 30, 2014, the Company has recorded $-0- for the payment of tax related interest and there were no tax penalties or interest recognized in the statements of operations.
	The Company is subject to income tax examinations in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction, as well as in the Republic of Ireland and various state jurisdictions.  At June 30, 2014, tax years 2010 through 2013 remain open to examination.

	Northeast Scientific
	On September 17, 2013, the Company entered into an eight-year reprocessing services agreement with Northeast Scientific, Inc. (NES), a FDA-registered reprocessor of medical devices, whereby the Company paid NES a non-refundable amount of $500,000 for the exclusive right to offer NES’ reprocessing services in the United States for a commercial medical device.  NES is pursuing FDA approval for its reprocessing services for the device.  If FDA approval is obtained, the Company is required to pay NES a non-refundable amount of $400,000.  The agreement has an annual minimum unit termination clause, allowing NES to terminate the agreement if the Company does not meet certain annual minimums following FDA approval.
	The Company accounted for the transaction as a non-business asset acquisition in the third quarter of 2013.  In accordance with ASC 805, the purchase price of $900,000 was assigned to an intangible asset and no goodwill was recognized.  The Company recorded a $400,000 accrual in the third quarter of 2013 for the payment to be made upon FDA approval, in addition to the $500,000 initial payment.  The Company will begin amortizing the intangible asset on a per unit basis over the remaining term of the agreement once the Company begins to send units to NES to be reprocessed following FDA approval.
