Stryker Or Storz

Thanks for the response. The one thing i've noticed from my previous exp. as a device rep is EVERY Stryker rep (no matter what divison) seems aggressive and generally just a stud. The Storz rep seem much more passive and not exactly a person I could see myself associating with outside of work...point being, Storz seems like it embarces a passive sales model if you were to take there reps (i've seen) into account.



Careful about generalizing. I know Stryker reps that are fairly passive guys and not the stallion that you might be describing. Nice guys who work and work hard, but no hurricanses and sometimes that is a good thing because a lot of surgeons don't like over agressive type As
 






STORZY-- say what you want.

Your digital capture sucks

you dont make lights/booms/ routers

YOU HAVE NO ORTHOPAEDIC presence and neither does olympussssy

you have a good camera that is shaped like male genitalia

you are not the answer for standardization

Stryker's lights and booms are just older Berchtold generation designs. They recently exited the surgical table business and who's to say they will be able to survive the lights and booms business. Steris, Skytron and Berchtold each share a third of the lights and booms business. Stryker communications....they will turnover it should just be a matter of time. They are a public company and there is just not enough dollars to go around to Stryker for their communications business.

Your right most surgeons don't like aggressive reps but publicly traded companies know only to hire the aggressive reps because that's what managers are trained to do....
 












Re: You sales people dont know shit about video technology

You sales people don’t know SHIT about technology; your talk is fluff full of distorted information --- from both sides.
Good example is sales people saying 720p is "HD" and SXGA is not. LOL!
Because plenty of people own a 720p "HDTV"
Terms like “HDTV”, "720p" and "1080p" are mostly used for advertising in the consumer market (to people like medical sales people, LOL)

Education:
720p = 1280x720 resolution
SXGA= 1280x1024 resolution (this is GREATER than 720p)

HD = High Definition
High Definition usually refers to 720 or more lines of video format resolution displayed in a horizontal fashion from top to bottom.

SD = Standard Definition (old TV broadcasts)
Standard Definition usually refers to 480 horizontal lines of resolution.

HD and SD refer to lines of video resolution, not aspect ratio (4x3, or 16x9)

Now that that’s over:

In surgery, I have seen both Storz and Stryker cameras in action. In the side-by-side comparison I saw, both looked good;

The Storz image, although it was 16x9, I did not see the point of it being wide screen since it was a round endoscopy image with a black area that filled in on the left and right. I didn’t see the point of displaying a round image in a widescreen format.

The Stryker signal in a 4x3 aspect ration actually seemed better; I realize that it seemed better because the height of their monitor made the picture bigger that the long narrow 16x9 image by Storz. So, we connected the Storz image to the larger Stryker monitor and discovered that both endoscopy images looked about the same. The Stryker camera white balance seemed a little better; that’s about it.

Thanks for straightening my shit out. If I need to get a new flat screen from Best Buy, i'll certainly call you first. Thanks again.
 






Storz = If you are professional, have integrity, ability to sell and desire a longer term employment opportunity

Stryker = If you like steroids, aggressive selling, ability to sell but want to move on in a few years
 












What do you know about anything dumbass.

You can't even do your own research on a company. Come to this joke of a website to ask advice on careers and talk about people you've never met being passive and aggressive. No one cares about your opinion here. Or the fact that you have a hard on for your local stryker rep. Go blow the guy alraedy. Dope.

I do care about his comment. perhaps your are the fool, other people's opinion is always valuable for those who care and that's one of the reason to look into forums such as this. Were an international point of view can be share. Wisdom and understanding..
 


















Stryker's trick in showing you the illusion of its image being a good image is that they increase the contrast, that gives you a nice first impression once you attend the OR finding the stryker's screen VERY bright. But here comes the problem.... When you get long cases, the contrast will kill your eyes and gives you a sever headache, and attempting to decrease contrast then (RIP Image quality). Main reason why most skilled doctor are comfortable with storz. Because they uses real full HD rather then illusions of HD. Besides now we are in 2k15 :) Image 1 SPIES rocks as helll...

You are kidding right.
10 years to come out with a new system and Spies is what is produced.
I'm not sure it's image is even better than image 1.

We consistently hear Stryker, Olympus and now Arthrex offers better imaging, not to mention ICG and 4K.
Yeah, but SPIES rocks!!!
