First Single-Use Rigid Endoscope to be Demonstrated at AAOS

RANCHO SANTA MARGARITA, Calif.–(Business Wire)–Integrated Endoscopy, Inc. will demonstrate its nuvis™ Single-Use Arthroscope—the only single-use rigid endoscope commercially available in the United States—at the 2015 American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) Annual Meeting, March 25–27, 2015, in Las Vegas (booth No. 674).

The launch of the nuvis Single-Use Arthroscope comes at a time of heightened awareness about serious patient safety issues connected with endoscopic procedures, including a number of recent high-profile infection outbreaks caused by bacteria build up in difficult-to-clean endoscopes.

“We’re excited to introduce the nuvis Single-Use Arthroscope to orthopedic surgeons,” said George Wright, president and CEO of Integrated Endoscopy. “Our discussions with orthopedic surgeons across the country underscore the importance of exceptional optical quality in a disposable endoscope. The nuvis Arthroscope is the first single-use rigid endoscope based on 21st century optical technology. Its excellent optics and improved safety provide first-time quality for every procedure, benefiting surgeons and patients alike.”

Medartis, Inc. Introduces New Product at AAOS

KENNETT SQUARE, Pa.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Medartis, Inc. will introduce their New APTUS Adaptive Watershed Plating System at the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) Annual show today in Las Vegas. Scott G. Edwards, MD, Chief, Division of Hand & Elbow Surgery, Georgetown University, conducted the Medartis employee training workshop for the new system. During the show, Medartis staff will be on site, Booth #4070, to demonstrate and discuss the new system as well as the expanded line of Medartis products.

Prior to the AAOS, the new system had been made available in limited release and received positive reviews from surgeons who have used it. After working with the new Medartis APTUS Adaptive Distal Radius System, Richard H. Gelberman, MD, Professor and Chairman of Washington University Orthopedics at Washington University School of Medicine said, “There are several features of this new system that define its position as a third generation fixed angle device: the advanced watershed design, the opportunity for site specific multi-axial fixation and the ease provided by having 2.5 mm screws throughout.”

Andrew J. Weiland, MD, Orthopaedic Surgeon at the Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS), Professor of Orthopaedic Surgery, Weill Medical College at Cornell University also had the opportunity to use the new system and found, “The new Medartis Watershed plate design provides surgeons with increased flexibility in placement of the plate according to the characteristics of the fracture. The Tri-Lock Screw System adds additional flexibility to ensure appropriate screw placement.”

Medtronic exec: Google looms large as next great rival

May 7, 2014 by Brian Johnson

Medtronic executive Dr. Stephen Oesterle thinks Google will be a force to be reckoned with in the medical technology space in coming years.

As Medtronic‘s  (NYSE:MDT) resident technology scout and visionary, Dr. Stephen Oesterle’s job is to challenge the status quo at the world’s largest pure-play medical device company.

This morning Oesterle’s challenge to the medical device industry, issued at a meeting of the Massachusetts Medical Device Industry Council, was a sobering one.

 “Our arch-competitor in 20 years will not be Boston Scientific (NYSE:BSX) or St. Jude Medical (NYSE:STJ) or Covidien (NYSE:COV) or HeartWare (NSDQ:HTWR). It will be Google(NSDQ:GOOG). I am certain of it,” Oesterle told the audience at MassMEDIC’s annual conference today in Boston.

Oesterle, Medtronic’s senior vice president for medicine and technology, travels a quarter-million miles a year scouting new technologies, potential partnerships and other unique opportunities for Minnesota’s medtech Goliath. He also has access to an R&D budget that would make many of his colleagues jealous, but that’s nothing compared to what Google is spending, Oesterle said.

This is some dummy copy. You’re not really supposed to read this dummy copy, it is just a place holder for people who need some type to visualize what the actual copy might look like if it were real content.

If you want to read, I might suggest a good book, perhaps Hemingway or Melville. That’s why they call it, the dummy copy. This, of course, is not the real copy for this entry. Rest assured, the words will expand the concept. With clarity. Conviction. And a little wit.

In today’s competitive market environment, the body copy of your entry must lead the reader through a series of disarmingly simple thoughts.

All your supporting arguments must be communicated with simplicity and charm. And in such a way that the reader will read on. (After all, that’s a reader’s job: to read, isn’t it?) And by the time your readers have reached this point in the finished copy, you will have convinced them that you not only respect their intelligence, but you also understand their needs as consumers.

Long copy or short – You decide

As a marketer, you probably don’t even believe in body copy. Let alone long body copy. (Unless you have a long body yourself.) Well, truth is, who‘s to blame you? Fact is, too much long body copy is dotted with such indulgent little phrases like truth is, fact is, and who’s to blame you. Trust us: we guarantee, with a hand over our heart, that no such indulgent rubbish will appear in your entry. That’s why God gave us big blue pencils. So we can expunge every example of witted waffle.

For you, the skies will be blue, the birds will sing, and your copy will be crafted by a dedicated little man whose wife will be sitting at home, knitting, wondering why your entry demands more of her husband‘s time than it should.

But you will know why, won‘t you? You will have given her husband a chance to immortalize himself in print, writing some of the most persuasive prose on behalf of a truly enlightened purveyor of widgets. And so, while your dedicated reader, enslaved to each mellifluous paragraph, clutches his newspaper with increasing interest and intention to purchase, you can count all your increased profits and take pots of money to your bank. Sadly, this is not the real copy for this entry. But it could well be. All you have to do is look at the account executive sitting across your desk (the fellow with the lugubrious face and the calf-like eyes), and say ”Yes! Yes! Yes!“ And anything you want, body copy, dinners, women, will be yours. Couldn’t be fairer than that, could we?
