Advance Surgical

Being reached out to about this division.. How many products are in this bag for god sakes? ha

 

THIS DIVISION SUCKS

 

Just go on their website to see their products Dumb Ass...

 

Your not very nice.

 

Is Bill Peters still running this division?

 

maybe but he keeps getting lost on his way to the office.

 

Not a good life here at Conmed. We are now Buffalo reps, Conmed reps, AirSeal reps. All this for huge quotas, no expenses and unrealistic longevity.

 

Just be grateful you're not a Conmed Orthopedic rep. I guarantee you it's a lot worse here than at the Advance Energy Division!

 

Thank goodness for interviews and opportunities to LEAVE. Even the happy happy people are unhappy now.

 

Not good here...... If you can't make money with the Buffalo products you must be a real loser. BF was a great company with an outstanding product portfolio and sales force, and to know that you 2nd rate clowns at Conmed are 'selling' it now is infuriating. You're slightly above Applied Medical reps on the quality scale and that's not saying a whole lot. Years of service and success with BF and all we got from Conmed was some washed up Ex-Stryker flunkie giving us 30 days after making Buffalo what it was. The Conmed acquisition of BF will go down as one the biggest mistakes ever made by TFG.

Now go home and practice how you're going to deny that AirSeal isn't sucking massive amounts of ambient air into the patient.

 

Silly!


Not worried about your rant. Only this————-Is ambient air dirty? What about open cases? Should we be telling surgeons not to ever open because of the ambient air? You sound ridiculous! “Dr, your instrument was exposed to ambient room air. Are you sure you want to use that contaminated instrument” Think about how stupid you sound and come back when you have a relevant point, troll.

 

....In 2010, SurgiQuest told the FDA that the AirSeal System removed moisture from the patient and keeps tissues moist. SurgiQuest instructed its sales representatives that AirSeal did “essentially the same thing” as Lexion’s Insuflow system. However, SurgiQuest did humidity tests in 2012, and its engineer concluded that the AirSeal “dehydrates the abdominal cavity . . . chilling the patient,” which is the exact opposite of Insuflow. Even after SurgiQuest’s CEO and head of marketing learned about the test results, SurgiQuest still instructed its sales representatives to state that AirSeal performed essentially the same function as Insuflow.

There was evidence that SurgiQuest knew that AirSeal would suck air into the abdomen, and that gas, and surgical smoke when present in the abdomen, would leak out of the trocar (a surgical instrument used for withdrawing fluid from a body cavity). Surgical smoke is a dangerous byproduct of energy-based surgical instruments. SurgiQuest called its product an “AirSeal” despite its knowledge that the AirSeal didn’t preclude the passage of fluids, even though surgeons expected that trocars had seals to preclude fluid passage. SurgiQuest claimed that the AirSeal maintained stable pneumoperitoneum when it had advertised that this meant no gas could escape during a procedure.

SurgiQuest trained its sales representatives that the AirSeal did not suck air into the abdomen and that gas and smoke did not escape from the AirSeal trocar due to the “AirSeal” functionality. When customers inquired, the sales representative did demonstrations to show that no air could get sucked into the abdomen. Evidence at trial indicated that SurgiQuest knew that this capability was an important selling point and if they told the truth there would be “doctors that look at you like you just ran their mother over in a car” and it would lead to a decline in sales. A potential acquirer backed out of a potential acquisition of SurgiQuest, calling the air entrainment issue a “serious problem,” indicating that their sales numbers would be much less if people knew the truth.

SurgiQuest also knew that air could exacerbate subcutaneous emphysema, and altering the concentration of carbon dioxide gas in the abdomen is “typically undesirable for the safety of the patient” and even increases the risk of a fire or explosion.....

I take back what I said about your reps being slightly above Applied Medical reps, you are well below them after putting your ignorance on display here.

 

You'll pay for this, captain planet!!!

 

is Bill Peckers still here?

 

Who gives a shit! You both rep an insufflator. Wanksters!

 

Unhappy is an understatement. I have never received more unhappy calls from my fellow reps in the field. They can’t wait for a good opportunity to leave AS division. This is pathetic! It’s not about people it’s about the Conmed stock. Conmed goals and quotas don’t matter when you don’t matter.

 

Stop killing yourselves for a job that will replace you in one week if you dropped dead. Time for big change people. Wake up! You are not owned by any company and aren’t handcuffed to Conmed.

 

LESS and LESS every year. They do a great job at selling the decreases at the beginning of each year. 2020 will be a hard sell.

 

Im about to jump ship and stop being a sales rep for ConMed. I have witnessed unprofessional practices and the fact they don’t care about you as a person. Even though you are selling the products. I found another company that will be a better fit. Good luck

 

The legend of Bill Peters continues
