Surgeon Owned Distribution

 A Valuable Ancillary Service for your Practice and for Society

 
The current model of implant distribution is costly and diverts resources from product development and the provision of care by hospitals and surgeons.

 

At Alliance Surgical, we believe that surgeon ownership and direction in medical implant distribution is a better, more cost effective method of providing orthopedic implants, benefitting hospitals, surgeons and the patients they serve.

  

We have proven that surgeons are the most uniquely qualified individuals to direct the functions of a distributorship, including  1) implant selection and purchasing 2) service tech training 3) hospital education and 4) patient education.

 

Supporting Innovation and Research

 

Patient, surgeons and communities benefit from innovative medical advancements developed by the orthopedic implant companies.   Like the other key elements in healthcare, these companies need a fair profit to continue to fund research and development.  

 

Surgeon owned distributorships reduce the cost of distribution and reduce inventory expenses, and are more efficient users of resources which reduce the cost of doing business allowing the manufacturers to focus those resources on developing  great implants that improve patient's lives.
