In a specialty in which
manufacturer support can
be a challenge, Dr. Citardi
says Storz' reputation for
reliability is also comfort-

Storz always has well-

well-engineered systems
with a high degree of relia-
bility baked in," he says,
"and traditionally, their
sales force has been well-
trained. I think they'll be
able to support this system
well."

Boca Raton.
"It adds an additional layer of safety to the procedure during diffi-
cult cases," says Dr. Nachlas. "I hear people say they don't need com-
puter guidance, they know where they are, but I've done close to
15,000 of these procedures and I love having the assurance that every-
thing is done off the computer. It enables you to do a more complete
procedure."
