Titan Medical Inc (TMDIF)

[scalpel]

Regarding relationships with Intuitive reps, my philosophy on reps is as follows: the best sales rep has a product that sells itself. Regardless of knowledge, enthusiasm, level of support, if a rep's product is not good, I don't want to talk to them.

I cannot even remember the former ISRG reps at my hospital. By way of background, I am DaVinci trained and certified, but drifted away from the 'bot because there is much advantage to my practice over straight stick MIS surgery (I perform over 400 laparoscopic procedures per year). I would guesstimate that I have seen 3-4 different reps in the OR in the last couple of years.

I am long on Titan because I think that the technology will sell itself. It will just need someone to walk it into the door (figuratively, that is).
