WELCOME TO THE
BIG BOOK!
Running a surgical facility is a challenging job. Fortunately there's a panoply of products and
services that are designed to help you produce better outcomes, better safety, better economics and
make your job easier and better. Helping you find the products that will work for your facility is the
idea behind the first-ever Big Book of Surgery, the document you now hold in your hands. We hope
you enjoy it!
Just a few notes:
• The items you'll read about in the following pages are almost all products and services that have
been advertised in Outpatient Surgery over the past year. The content is not like the other content
you find in Outpatient Surgery. These descriptions were written by our marketing team here at
Outpatient Surgery and reflect our take on what you might find interesting and important about
these products and services. The vendors and manufacturers did not provide content and have
reviewed for factual accuracy only. Please consider it as promotional content, intended to be
helpful to you in evaluating these opportunities.
• If you would like more information on a product, there's a self-addressed postage-paid reader
service card in the middle of the publication that you can use to conveniently ask for that.
• For a really easy way to respond online, just go to www.bigbookofsurgery.com.
• Outpatient Surgery's advertisers make our product possible. We hope you'll support them!
As always, thank you for all you do for medicine and for patients, and thank you for reading
Outpatient Surgery!
