Aragon Surgical

Hey douche, you must be one of the disgruntled emlpoyees that took this job and now you will fall flat on your face with this start up. Keep dreaming that you are gonna hit it big.
Lets wait and see who the 'IDIOT" is when you are without a job in 6 months. Freakin loser.
 






Are you interviewing as a direct or 1099?


Direct. Based on what I know they are direct only except in one area. Not sure where but the VP said they we expanding direct. Yes, I have OR device sales experience and currently sell for one of the market leaders. The products are very interesting and he position position it as a stapler displacer and energy device which could save lots of $$ and time.
 






this sounds just like self promotion . HHHmmm could it be Mr. Snow or just 1 of his reps. The stapler displacer sounds like the company mantra. Has to be an internal person creating market awareness on this site .
 






Saw the device in action for a colectomy. Very slow and a lot of sticking of tissue. Doctor wasn't impressed with device and rep's best rebuttal to objections was, "Our next generation generator will be much faster..."

Even the surgeon remarked that it would be easier for him to just use an stapler with a vascular reload instead of this instrument to mobilize the colon.

Rep was selling benefits of articulation in an open case and surgeon's response was, "Why do I need articulation for an open case? I can position the colon with my hand."

Hi Kerri!

Update: The new generator is out and the seal times are 3-8 seconds. See you soon!

PS - going to be so cool when you guys have to backtrack again (like with Enseal!) when you buy us....
 






One also has to consider other applications than what currently comprises the energy based market hotbed. The Aragon platform is phenomenal for quick takedown of extremely large vascular pedicles - no dissection of individual vascular structures required. When transitioning into a more coaxial/hybrid operative mindset (compared to triangulation), the ability to take down these structures in 1 shot may prove to be a tremendous advantage because re-positioning and "teeing-up" the tissue for subsequent/multiple applications of a 5mm device is a huge PITA (pain in the ...) when deploying coaxially. Depending on the procedure, alot of soft tissue dissection is not necessary in order to expose these large pedicles, and in a transgastric or transvaginal deployment, 5mm vs larger is not such an issue - at least not yet :) Add a flexible rather than rigid shaft - could be very interesting IMHO.
