New Trauma Products

Can anyone elaborate on the new trauma products that are coming later this year from Orthofix? Is there any reason to pick up this line?

 

Yes, glue gun!

 

You're kidding, right?

 

So painful. Product manager must be Rip V. Winkle. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

 

With a sale still in negotiations there will be no new products under the Orthofix name.

 

Is that the sale Milli Nazi was talking about a decade or so back?

 

I think they have been saying that for 25 years and they still haven't been able to unload it.

 

Kinda hard to sell something based on rogue distributors and reps compensating physicians for scripts and to use your gear.

 

Still in negotiations with whom? There is no company in ortho that needs the me too products that are currently on life support offered by this organization. Seriously, name one company. Spine hardware, all the same. Trauma hardware, what's not obsolete is all the same. Foot and ankle, obsolete portfolio. Stimulation, will be on TV soon being pimped by Chuck along with his light therapy wonder box.

 

More like Milli Vanilli, corporate smoke and mirrors

 

For all the bashing stim takes it keeps plodding along and is still probably the highest margin product in all of OFIX. This product is way below the radar in the big scheme of things. It appears to still have very good reimbursement and the overall sales have stabilized. I don't see this going to rental or becoming a TV product. Now or in the future. It's sort of funny, for all the naysayers re: stim the product has outlived and survived most products on the market.

 

Thanks for your perspective Brad!

 

No it's not Brad. Just the facts ma'am.

 

Huh? Sell what's in your bag. Oh wait...
