Billy Mays would be so proud of Marco Caicedo, Ph.D of Orthopedic Analysis! A great exhibit booth pitch consists of any things: -Tempo -Cadence -Eye contact -Brevity -Knowledge of the product and its application -Knowing when to ?? -Confidence Saw a lot of just that at AAHKS 2024, but one stood out as he made ME want a test kit for nickel allergy….even though I’m not. That’s a pitch down the middle!! Congratulations Marco for a pitch-perfect delivery in Gravevine, and for not throwing me out of the booth for the repeated “polo…..polo…!” ?? #devicenation #notpolo #medicaldevice #medicaldevicesales

You know you’ve never made it to the big leagues until hashtag #devicenation stops by to talk to you. Thanks for the great conversation !

AAHKS is in full swing and we are having a blast discussing metal sensitivity testing at the Orthopedic Analysis booth (426). Finally got to meet the one and only, the man, the legend Richard Southgate.

Watch our video and discover how Orthopedic Analysis’s Patented Winter Blood Collection Kit keeps your patient’s lymphocytes safe from winter’s cold temperatures, ensuring the highest accuracy in cell function testing for metal sensitivity (LTT). With colder months here, it’s vital to shield blood samples (lymphocytes) from temperature drops. At Orthopedic Analysis, we prioritize the integrity of every sample’s immune cells to provide you with the most reliable results. Our video highlights how our innovative patented kit stabilizes temperatures during transport, safeguarding your patient’s blood on its journey to our lab for analysis.

Does Metal Allergy to Total Knee Arthroplasty Components Exist? This compelling question was explored at the World Expert Meeting in Arthroplasty, held in Istanbul in August 2024. Expert Vote: Agree 75.2%, Disagree 16.2%, and Abstain 8.6% https://lnkd.in/gSZyfcRx Discover how Orthopedic Analysis can aid in diagnosing metal sensitization for patients both pre- and post-operatively. Visit our booth at AAHKS next week for more information!

AAHKS 2024 is Almost Here! We’re excited to be part of the premier orthopedic event of the year!

This chapter on "Workup of Patients with Suspected Metal Hypersensitivity" by Carulli and Innocenti offers highly informative content, with a conclusion that is particularly well-founded and reflective of modern approaches in the field. 32.7 Conclusions "We can state without any doubt that hypersensitivity to metals in joint replacement surgery exists, despite its low incidence. Given the rising number of orthopedic procedures worldwide reported in the last decades and further expected in the future, a careful evaluation of patients also regarding this aspect is mandatory for surgeons, also to avoid legal controversy. Fortunately, several implants and prosthetic systems may be used to avoid any postoperative issues related to metal reactions, even if specific laboratory tests are at disposal. Other conventional diagnostic tools are needed as the comprehension of any other cause of hypersensitivity after a joint replacement (as cement and its component) is yet to be achieved" https://lnkd.in/gq6M2i9H

What an honor to introduce a man that needs no introduction: We are privileged to have Dr. Joshua Jacobs, past president of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) and world-renowned joint replacement specialist, speak about the importance of metal sensitivity testing in joint replacement surgery and his use of Orthopedic Analysis' lymphocyte transformation test (LTT) in his practice. We extend our gratitude to Dr. Jacobs for his crucial contributions to the field of biological responses to implant metals and his clinical input on this important topic.

"Disc Replacement Allergies: Concerns, Prevalence and Mitigation in Prosthesis Usage" This is a great informative article by ADR (Advanced Disc Replacement) detailing all FAQs regarding metal sensitivity in disc replacements.
