In this COVID-19 series podcast, Jeniffer Fried, CEO of ExplORer Surgical discusses what they're doing to enable medical device companies to continue supporting operating room and procedural activity during a COVID-19 epidemic and after.  While case volumes for elective procedures are low to none, there are those emergency procedures that still need support from a medical device clinical or sales rep.  

What does the future hold for medical device reps in the operating room?  This has been a topic of discussion in the C-Suite of both hospitals and medical device companies for a long time, with not much change.  Is it possible to provide support to a physician and O.R. team without being there in person reducing the risk of infection, freeing up space in the O.R. while keeping the technical expertise of a medical device representative?  Listen to what ExplORer Surgical is doing to enable this future.  Learn more at:  https://explorersurgical.com/
