LDR Spine

Do you guys have a competitive cervical product to them?

 

no stand alone

 

LDR just hired a spine guy in the south that is everywhere> who is this guy and where did he come from?

 

That dude is from Nuvasive. I met him in Augusta. I think he has the entire state.

 

You must be talking about CT. He left NuVasive a year ago.

 

It is CT. I talked to him today. Good spine guy for LDR.

 

How come we don't hear much about LDR. I know they are in my area. What is there deal? PODs?

 

LDR does not participate in PODs. They don't have much to offer a POD.

 

any update now that they received approval on that new mobi c disc

 

LDR needs to be bought to rid the company of Kyphon rejects. Are the distributors happy?
Not for long when LDR drops points and looks to add select directs to help with a very slow quarter.

 

care to elaborate on this? thanks

 

How about a direct hire and then hire six new distributors in your backyard. Sounds great huh. Now that is spine company----NOT! That is a niche company gone bad.
I have already seen three fractures associated with the cervical blades and two with the lumbar ALIF blades. Not real good data if I was a patient or a surgeon.
I had one surgeon tell me please don't bring that corpectomy to be cage in here.

 

Chris is no longer with LDR spine.

and, NuVasive does have a nice Cervical stand-alone device.

 

Nuvasive does have a pretty cool cervical stand alone. LDR has the Mobi-C TDR for two levels now.
If this is the same Chris you referred to he is one hell of a guy and has great spine knowledge. Does anyone know what he is up to?

 

How is this group even in our discussion cafe? Yes Chris is good guy! He got screwed by his distributor friend with NuVasive.

 

Why dont surgeons just hammer those peek plastic Coroent spine spacers into cervical spaces?

Aint like the FDA actually would give a rats.

I saw the xray images of this guy who came into our Emergency Room complaining of back pain...whole dang Nuvasive Coroent plastic spine spacer came outta his spine and was floating inside his body. Dang guy was broken in half and had nothing between his vertebrae holding him together.

If FIXATION was used on him with his plastic spine spacer....he wouldnt have fell apart. Poor SOB died 2 days later.

Surgeons need to take advantage of the FDA being ordered to do nothing about the Cage Rage. Start hammering Coroent's into cervical spaces with no fixation....it'll work. LOL!

eassssy money$$$$$$

 

If by screwed you mean fired for not contributing and not showing up for a surgery because he was doing home improvement, yeah, he got "screwed"
