Titan Medical Inc (TMDIF)

Calling all involved in the industry to respond. I’m looking to write a third article and need your help!

Anyone in the industry (physicians and specialists (surgeons, anesthesiologists, etc.), hospital administrators or management, sales reps, or anyone else who thinks that their input would add to the article is encouraged to submit a short piece of writing to [e-mail].

After reading Lurker05’s post from the other day, and then VeNoM12’s, Robs911’s, and CUIN2’s responses, I had an idea for a new article. Let’s highlight the differences between Titan’s SPORT and its competition from the people who know the machines best, those with an intimate knowledge of what is needed – the end or near-end users.

I’ve really appreciated and find it fascinating to hear the differences in functionality between the units from the (near) end user, and what their thoughts here on iHub, and I think that others will really appreciate it as well via another Seeking Alpha article.

So, I would like to pose a few questions to those qualified to answer:

What makes the SPORT the most ideal platform relative to its competition?
(This is based on what details you know about the machines – please be as specific as possible)

What is your opinion of the current surgical robotics marketplace? How do you and your peers feel about Intuitive?
(Any anecdotes about experiences using the Da Vinci are appreciated)

Please add any metrics or additional information to you feel is pertinent to the discussion and that you feel would be of interest to others.


Don’t work about your responses being too bias, that’s expected. This is the TITXF board, the article will be on TITXF, and we’re all invested in TITXF, so inherently, there will be bias.

If you could e-mail me a brief synopsis of your personal details (what you do, how many cases/procedures a year, your involvement in the industry, etc. – that type of stuff), and also provide commentary to the above questions, that would be much appreciated – bullet points or paragraphs, whatever works for you. All contributors to the discussion will remain anonymous and will be labeled generically in the article (i.e. Surgeon 1, Sales Rep 2, etc.)

When I asked the other day I failed to realize that Private Messaging is a premium function on iHub and most users are not premium members. So to hopefully get a higher response rate, I just set-up [e-mail]. Please send your submissions there.

Looking forward to the e-mails. And remember this is totally voluntary and anonymous, but the more responses the more detailed and thorough the article will be.

If anyone has anything to add, or any suggestions or comments, don't be shy - feel free to post on here or send me an e-mail.

Long and strong.
