Cost-conscious
Each month we share cost-per-case data with all of our surgeons. We
break down how much each doc spent on implants and disposables.
The very act of bringing awareness to what things cost makes us all
more cost-conscious. If something's truly valuable, let's use it. But if
there's an alternative that's just as good and costs less, let's go with
that.

Be sure to ask your surgeons for their input
on the features they want in a table and arrange
for a hands-on trial with vendors.
