We're helping professionals know how to
find you and/or to remember how to best use your
products.
We are focusing
on new and representative products. Naturally,
we gladly add products that subscribers designate.
To see how "enhancement"
works, please click on " EZBones"

DETAILED
INFORMATION
Orthopaediclist welcomes your
participation. We are in the process of listing
every product that we can find and intend to list
yours even before you so request. The value of
your listing, however, depends on you.
There is no charge for a "bare bones"
listing which includes only the product name and
the name of the manufacturer or supplier.
There is a charge to enhance product listings
with photos, complete contact information, click-through
to the company website, preferred list position,
and detailed information in a PDF or Word format.
Fees are charged on a per-product basis with reductions
for volume. Please contact us at info@orthopaediclist.com
to discuss this in detail.
If you wish to enhance your product with
your website hotlink, a preferred list position,
a product photograph, and a "technique" or detailed
product description, we can do it. To do
so, we will ask you to supply that information
to us electronically (in .jpg, .bmp, or .png formats
for photographs). Thus, you and we can be certain
that the reproduction of your materials is accurate,
of the highest quality, and that we have your
permission to publish it.
For most subscribing companies
with their own websites, "click-throughs"
to those sites make them more convenient to users.
Others find that displaying their products on
www.orthopaediclist.com gives them sufficient,
cost effective Internet presence.
We value small as well as large companies,
so, except for subscribers, we do not enhance
one over the other. We position the enhanced
products of our supporters higher on our lists
and use icons to bring attention to them.
For examples, please click on " EZBones"
or look under subcategory "Bone Grafts" under
category "Bone & Soft Tissue Grafts"; then
click on " EZBones
Enhanced " to see what it can look like with
complete contact information, a photograph, and
some additional information such as a surgical
technique.
Having "surgical techniques" on our
site is important to our users (your customers).
Trauma surgery is typically performed on an urgent,
unscheduled basis, often when regular staff are
not available. Operating room staff are not always
familiar with every trauma implant or device or
where to find an instruction manual. We have requests
from OR nurses and military surgeons all over
the world to provide techniques since such are
not always easily available. To have the capacity
to view and/or print one from our website, no
matter where or when, is appealing. And, it could
make a difference in patient care and between
your having satisfied versus frustrated customers.
We recognize that many companies have very attractive
websites with techniques available, but we have
found that ours takes the surgeon more directly
to the technique and are striving to become the
universal site for this sort of information.
We began building this site in June
of 2003, and it will always be a work in progress.
We are proceeding in two ways. If you do not see
your product listed, we have not yet gotten to
the category pertaining to it or we simply haven't
found it. For most, we are entering data on what
we can find without your help. If you would like
to be included and we left you out, please let
us know.
For no additional fee, we will add
categories for those companies wishing to subscribe
to our services before we are scheduled to develop
those product categories. Thus, you could be the
only company listed until another company subscribes
or until we develop that category as a whole.
Since we pledge fair and equal treatment to companies
of all sizes, we will not offer exclusive listings
per se. On the other hand, companies subscribing
early will enjoy the advantage of an exclusive
listing until that category is developed or expanded.
Although we may someday offer users
ways to comment on products, www.orthopaediclist.com
makes no attempt to rate products or even to guarantee
that they are available. In fact, we will list
some products that are no longer being manufactured
so that users can discover where they might find
product-specific instruments or replacement components
if needed. Our pledge and effort is to try to
provide a comprehensive list of products that
orthopaedic surgeons, operating room staff, and
office staff can use to efficiently find what
they need.
Our site is service oriented
and focused on the user. Like you, we want our
information to be accurate and current. If you
see where we are in error, please let us know.
We welcome your input.
