Syndicom, Inc. Announces SpineConnect ProductEdge PN
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
SYNDICOM, INC. ANNOUNCES SPINECONNECT PRODUCTEDGE
Syndicom extends its widely embraced SpineConnect platform to connect medical device companies with spine surgeons
Durango, CO – September 27, 2006 –Syndicom, Inc. today announced the release of SpineConnect ProductEdge PN, an extension of its widely embraced SpineConnect case-collaboration network, at the 21st North American Spine Society Annual Meeting. ProductEdge PN connects medical device companies directly with spine surgeons to accelerate product adoption, increase product use, and produce better surgical outcomes.
ProductEdge PN gathers consulting surgeons in a secure online private forum focused specifically on a product or technology. Using SpineConnect’s proven case-collaboration methodology, consulting surgeons review candidate cases for devices submitted by inquiring surgeons. Medical consultants are able to disseminate the most up-to-date information, tips and pearls of surgical technique, and create a “best practices” knowledgebase comprised of experiences and outcomes for a device that traditional marketing and training cannot easily convey.
Pat Miles, Sr. Vice President of Marketing at NuVasive, is enthusiastic about using SpineConnect to improve surgeon-to-surgeon communication."By using SpineConnect ProductEdge PN, we can give surgeons a powerful tool to share their knowledge and expertise on products and technologies with the broader spine community. In addition, it gives Nuvasive a chance to observe the thought processes and consideration surgeons use when evaluating our technology for different indications."
"We believe that ProductEdge PN will provide forward thinking companies with an edge in launching and supporting new products and technologies,” said Scott Capdevielle, CEO, Syndicom Inc. By encouraging collaboration between surgeons, the knowledgebase of these devices becomes better and better. Having a larger dataset to work with will only improve patient outcomes."
