Mpathy Medical

[Anonymous]

I have heard some great things about this new Women's Health company in the marketplace. Innovative products that are making the Big Co's take notice, as Doc's have bought into their technology. Has anybody else seen them making noise?

[Anonymous]

I am curious too! My buddy was up for an interview with them in the Birmingham AL area. Heard that they have really good benefits with very competitve commission. Anyone have any more info????

[Anonymous]

They are clearly making a mark with Physicians and gaining market share in all over the country. Some of the Doc's that I work with have had great things to say about Mpathy's products. Definitely a Co to keep an eye on.

Wow, nice job hyping your own company!Just got back from AUA and nobody is excited about the Mpathy product. Just another sling with a new mesh (and we all know what can happen with new and unproven mesh materials, think Obtape).

[Anonymous]

Well stated. I also hear that they are way over-priced and management is not willing to discount much. Good luck getting market share in large institutions, without being priced to compete with the larger Mesh Co's. Looks like a slow death to me.

I heard things were changing over there. I have heard some bad things too but par for the course with a start up and things change very quickly there i was told, no waiting months for decisions. was thinking of looking into them as a smaller company rather than this big company mentality.

Stay away! They are losing some of their Top Reps and others are soon to follow. The Leadership Team in place will sink this ship soon.

great place to double dip . Bottom Tier reps who try to ride the bennies while they work for someone else, before they get let go by both or have to go on their own
U KNOW WHO U R .......

[Anonymous]

What an idiot. The Device industry is small enough. Who the hell is stupid enough to try and double-dip?

I think he just quit before he got fired . Always best to be up front what goes around will ALWAYS come around

So stupid to try to pull off. I've been hearing some negative feedback on the Mpathy Mesh from my Doc's. Seems like they were excited to try this Mesh, but in the end it is just another Mesh in an over saturated market.

Mpathy is a joke. They started out quoting an erosion/extrusion rate of 0%. ZERO! I sell for one of the big companies with a proven mesh kit...and my docs would toss me the Mpathy literature and say "Have you seen this? No extrusions!" I would laugh and ask them why they thought that was true...

Without missing a beat - they would all say "Because only 10 docs in the whole country have implanted it in a total of 27 patients!" And then laugh...

Now the erosion rate they quote is over 1/2%...working its way up.

This is nothing but overpriced Gynemesh with no trocar delivery system. They were finished before they got started.

Is this Company still in business?

[Anonymous]

Overpriced...no contracts...no trainIng..not approved at hospitals. Leadership knows nothing about the surgical market. No clincal data to back up the ridiculous claims. They're a joke, a bunch of clowns. My friend worked for them...they have to pay people to use the produce. He had no training and no data to back anything up. He just got beat up every day. This company is run by people who decided to dabble in medical with no concept of what it takes to survive. He was told $175 at plan...says reps with proctors may be doing it but if not you're screwed. And they fire people overnight. He quit.

The last post pretty much nailed it, not to mention that the Mesh marketplace is ultra competitive. This Management Team has no clue how to sell within the OR/Hospital marketplace and this is their 1st time even working within this environment. The Big Boys are eating them up out in the Field, due to not being on any Contracts and having no Studies to support their claims. I had a friend work here and she said it is only a matter of time before they fall apart.

But if you are an independent rep you can make alot of money . They pay very high commission. Was in a robotic case and the doc just ripped the mesh literally . But given that pelvic floor is the fastest growth in the business of medicine , they have a nice niche . heard they have an ajustable sling coming soon

Article on Mpathy's Minitape published on-line in December '09 by BJOG (Authors: North, Hilton, Ali-Ross and Smith) quotes a tape complication rate of 20% (predominantly mesh extrusions), 4/60 women experienced severe pain and had to exit the study and had the tape removed and a cure rate at 2 years of 10%.

tell me more

[Anonymous]

Wow - awful paper to have associated with your product. It's going to be difficult for Reps to overcome that data. Nail in the coffin?

Previous article was written on an iteration of the product that never went to market. Company grew over 500% last year while competitors laid people off.

500% growth from nothing is still nothing. Better get some clinical evidence on your new product. Until that is available, I expect your competitor reps will gladly quote the old article.

An article by a paid company consultant in a journal that is not peer reviewed, quoting minimal clinical data that have never been officially published (abstract presentation at ICS 2009). I think you need to do better than this.

This is a commodity industry and you're going against the beasts of Med Device. A small Co like this with an awful Management Team is bound to fail.

In all honesty, the mesh isn't different ENOUGH from what is out there to get any traction...maybe a doc here and there but nothing big. If they are around 1 year from the date of this posting, I will be surprised. I know one of their top proctors pretty well and he says (this is a guy using their product) they are already doomed...

BOOM - less than 6 months from this posting and they are gone...bought by Coloplast! How stupid...Coloplast is really dumb! Mpathy is nothing...nothing + nothing still = nothing!
