If I am able to get utility patent or temporary patent, this idea could be developed and marketed independent or sold directly to health firm with distribution channels in place. I am looking , ideally, to partner with a patent atty my idea with attorneys knowledge and patent work split equitably the revenue generated.

In all honesty everyone wants a patent for free probably of the potential clients I meet want me to write a patent for them and then they will give me a percentage of their profits from their invention later. Most don't have a clue about how to make, market or sell their invention. Studies show less than 1% of all patents make any money. The reason is not because the ideas are not good the reason is because it takes time, money, knowledge and experience to take an idea from paper and turn it into a money making venture. Very, very few of the inventors I have dealt with can do this. Good luck in finding a patent attorney that will work for free.
