Director of Product Marketing, OrthAlign

Nick Morfing

Nick Morfing, Director of Product Marketing, OrthAlign, discussed the shift from cadavers to their models in surgeon training, highlighting cost benefits and improved outcomes. He also mentioned the expanded application of Surgery Stud in their organization and its positive impact on salesforce education and case bookings.

Could you elaborate on the reasons behind the shift from cadavers to our models in training, and how this shift plays a role in familiarizing surgeons with your devices?
As you started using our model for distributor and surgeon training, what were your initial goals in shifting from cadavers, and how did this shift enhance surgeons' familiarity with your devices?
Could you provide insights into how our platform assisted in achieving the challenging goal of replicating the surgical feel and reactions of collateral ligaments?
What was the feedback that you received as you started to implement and replace the cadavers both in the field and with the surgeons?
Considering your response, it's clear that reducing the human cost has been a significant advantage. The shift away from third-party Cadaver labs and the associated expenses in terms of PPE and extra equipment seems pivotal. Could you elaborate more on how this shift has brought about substantial cost benefits beyond just the specimen-related expenses?
What are some of the other areas where you see you're saving both time and efficiencies?
Has Surgery Stud's application expanded into other areas within your organization beyond its initial focus on surgeon education?
Are you observing that the more advanced education of your salesforce is contributing to better outcomes in the operating room and increased customer satisfaction?
We previously mentioned your international expansion and its relevance in addressing challenges in various regions. Could you provide more details on this aspect?
Apart from faster training, have there been other notable impacts?
Are you booking cases faster now because of that?

Dr. Kenneth Illingworth

Dr. Illingworth specializes in the non-operative and operative care of pediatric patients with complex spinal deformities. Here are his thoughts on the models.

In August of 2022 you co-authored a study that was published in Pediatric Orthopedic Society of North America. Can you share some of the highlights and your experience with the SurgiSTUD models?
What are some highlights/indications during the use of SurgiSTUD's static and dynamic models?
What was the outcome that the residents experienced?
How do you envision resident / fellowship programs transitioning over to synthetic models like SurgiSTUD?
How do SurgiSTUD's models compare to a real bone or a cadaver?
Any suggestions or advice to academic centers and spine companies whom are considering SurgiSTUD for the first time?

TESTIMONIALS

What do the Professionals Think?

The KneeSTUD is the most anatomically accurate model available for practice of surgical procedures, eliminating the need for cadaveric materials and fostering excellent surgical training.

Alfred J. Tria, Jr., MD, FAAOS

Clinical Professor of Orthopedic Surgery

The model of scoliosis has been extremeley helpful for teaching students, residents, company personnel, parents, etc... and the 3-D morphology of the true deformity of the spine and trunk including rubs.

Randal Betz, MD

Institute for Spine and Scoliosis Past President, Scoliosis Research Society Former Chair, Spinal Deformity Education Group

The SpineSTUD is an excellent platform to learn spinal instrumentation and reduction techniques. It provides a realistic representation of spinal anatomy and three dimensional deformity without the cost and logistical challenges of learning with cadaveric specimens.

Joe Petfield

Pediatric Orthopedic Surgery Fellow

The model was by far the most realistic one I've used. The feel of the "bone" for every step of the instrumentation process was remarkable. The set up of the model within simulated soft tissues and ribs allows for an excellent surgical practice environment. I would highly recommend it for any trainee at any level.
