The shortage is real and it’s impacting care. Cardiac MRI - the clinically proven gold standard in advanced Cardiac imaging - is used a fraction of the time it is clinically indicated because of technologist shortages and how difficult it is to complete Cardiac MRI exams in the traditional manner.

Is Big Ortho Getting Ready For Radical Vertical Impact Simulation❗❓ With the news from the FTC yesterday regarding non-competes there is a lot of speculation on what this will mean for our industry. While I do believe for the most part non-competes are used to limit employees/1099s career opportunities I am skeptical this is a doomsday scenario for Big Ortho and Big Ortho distributors. From my understanding, California, North Dakota, Oklahoma, and Washington, D.C. currently do not enforce most agreements. I have talked with a lot of Ortho Reps in these states who don't feel like they have the freedom/ability to change their career path. Don't get distracted by all the news about non-competes... If you are frustrated where you are... Whether you have a non-compete or not... 🔷 Figure Out What Winning Looks Like For YOU and YOUR FAMILY This is not the same for everyone so make sure you can clearly articulate it for yourself. Don't let someone else define it for you. 🔷 Spend Time Working On Your Exit Strategy 🔷 Make Sure You Are Running Toward Something And Not Away From Something I have seen reps jump from one company to another only to realize they are in the same basic situation they just left. A well-planned exit will take some time to plan. If you have a plan already figured out you can put a pause on it to see how all of this plays out, but don't be surprised if you wait six months or a year and the legality of non-competes and the ability for a company to drag you into court because you went to a competitor might still be as clear as mud.

Make your case… I contend that the push by certain sectors of industry to consolidate/limit vendors (i.e. competition) is done at the expense of surgeons and patients. ➤ An open market: 🔹 Drives Innovation 🔹 Promotes Cost Reduction 🔹 Increases Potential Solutions ——————————————————————— Access to the open market maximizes options for surgeons and patients. No single company regardless of size and scope has the best product offering for every surgeon and every situation. Disagree? Tell me why in the comments. #orthopedics #medicaldevicesales #surgeons

A recent study in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology revealed a concerning trend for interventional echocardiographers. They're exposed to high radiation doses, particularly on the right side of their body, including the waist (up to 0.334 μSv/mGy in TEER procedures). This is due to scattered radiation from the bottom edge of the patient bed. Chronic low-dose radiation exposure can have serious health consequences. Here's how RADPAD® can help: Lightweight and disposable: Easy to integrate into your workflow. Clinically proven: Backed by over 40 studies to significantly reduce scatter radiation exposure. Targeted protection: Designed to shield your right side, including the waist, during procedures. Don't wait! Protect yourself with RADPAD® and prioritize your health. #RADPAD #RadiationProtection #SHD #Cardiology #Echo #Echocardiography #Safety #HealthCareSafety #Radiation #HealthCareHeroes #InterventionalCardiology

🎉 Exciting News! 🎉 We are thrilled to share a remarkable case report published in the July 2024 issue of Cath Lab Digest, titled "Successful Dilation of a Heavily Calcified LAD With 3 Layers of Under-Expanded Stents With the OPN NC Super High-Pressure Balloon." In this report, the OPN NC Super High-Pressure PTCA Balloon was used to tackle a challenging case involving a heavily calcified left anterior descending (LAD) artery with three layers of under-expanded stents. The OPN NC balloon achieved an incredible dilation, showcasing its unmatched efficacy in dealing with complex lesions. Key Highlights: · The patient had a severely calcified LAD with three under-expanded stents. · The OPN NC balloon, with its twin-layer design and high-pressure capability (up to 35 atm), successfully dilated the lesion. · This breakthrough resulted in optimal stent expansion and significantly improved patient outcomes. This case report underscores why the OPN NC Super High-Pressure Balloon is a game-changer in interventional cardiology. It proves its capability to achieve results where conventional balloons fail, ensuring the best care for patients with complex coronary lesions.

A hundred years ago, the editor of JAMA, Journal of the American Medical Association had a column where he wrote about hucksters and frauds in medicine. This is his piece on The Abrams Box, which is a great example of why medical device manufacturers are held to such high standards (and hold themselves to such high standards) for safety and effectiveness. This was 100 years ago, but you'll hear echoes of The Abrams Box in today's world: Theranos' fraud, Volkswagen's emissions measurement scandal or Boeing's quality woes. Or how about Stimwave, which garnered this horrific press release from the DOJ in 2023: "Former CEO Of Medical Device Company Indicted For Creating And Selling A Fake Medical Component That Was Implanted Into Patients" It's hard enough already to create safe and effective medical devices when we are trying to do our jobs well. So it's especially important that our regulators keep up their great work looking out for the next Abrams Box, and that industry keep up its work of creating cultures of quality, self-policing and collaborating on standards and other policy mechanisms.

Look for specific market verticals to change. Interventional cardiology, interventional neurology, general surgery, gynecology, bariatrics, and urology represent a fantastic state of opportunity of winners and losers over the next 5 years. The dynamics of: -             Venture funding that drives product innovation that has for the most part, exited the large strategics along with R&D budgets being reduced. Reduced R&D budgets impact internal development as well as M&A dry powder. -             Shifting reimbursement guidelines directed at influencing value-based care. Driving evidence-based outcomes that can only be derived from incorporating technologies that at first glance do not make economic sense, but as continued use and workflows are established, the economics do make sense. IN THE RIGHT SETTING. -             The right setting - Changing centers of care from in-patient to outpatient and ASC models and the wide-open landscape for a smaller more malleable environment for technology and digital innovation. -             Healthcare worker careers diverge and are represented appropriately and selected appropriately. The ASC team member will be selected, trained and respected like an Indy Team pit crew. Not as an institutional worker as is the case in a majority of hospital settings. Similar to a startup company mindset versus a large corporate mindset. The great leadership will understand this, design strategies to attract those personas, select them based on assessments, motivations and design in shared rewards of the business. ASC employment will be a lifestyle employment choice. Work with similarly driven and creative team oriented players. The companies that make and sell medical devices and the organizations that provide healthcare services to the consumer will break down into one of two categories. The one's who’s current strategy has been designed for the structure that has been in place to date. And The reconstructionists who are shaping the new market. Game on.

Repswear 101…..20yr old construct removals. At Alliance Medical LLC we always try to get imaging at least 3 days before a revision case to leverage our network to identify the hardware. Sometimes, we fail and cannot identify the hardware. So what’s your move? Hope universal removal set can get it out and deal with the docs frustration then?….bring in multiple companies best guess at it?…give the doctor the excuse ahead of time? What would a surgeon prefer? Curious to hear everyone’s play on this. Side note: there are actually a few docs out there that enjoy the challenge of figuring out how to removal obsoleted hardware.

Join me at the Georgia Society of Ophthalmology meeting this weekend and learn about True Ultra-Wide Field Retinal Imaging. The GOAL is the "most" retinal area captured with the least invasive impact to the patient. It's not reasonable to flash the patient's eye 7-9 times per eye in each phase, versus 1 single capture at 200 degrees (ora to ora most cases) using Optos True UWF technology! #retina #retinaspecialist #ophthalmology #ophthalmologist #eyecare #cataract #cataractsurgery #eyedoctor #eyespecialist #eyesurgeon
