Sorry if this has been posted before- but does anyone mix/match brands of grounding pads with generator brand? Could you see any any legal ramifications of doing so?

Every day. I think the new Abbott machine had proprietary ground connections when I trialed it 1-2 years ago but can’t be sure. I use the same pad for my: Neurotherm, Stryker, and Boston Scientific RF machine as well as my bovie

Thanks! I’m about to start using a Stryker machine and their grounding pads are a lot more $$$ than the Boston ones I currently have.

Per usual bigger is better for the grounding pad

What kyphoplasty product do you guys use, which is cheapest? Is it possible to order it from another state to avoid/bypass greedy local reps who want x2 -x3 higher price for the product?

For kypho, we use Medtronic, was able to negotiate the price down around 1100 in ASC setting, supplying only one balloon and two cannulas.

Merit has a nice kit and a nice deal. I’m thinking of trying it out. Love Stryker but not getting cheaper.

Our local Stryker rep wants $3k for that kit lol

Would they be willing to ship a bulk order to another state, no rep support needed.

I think they will be more than happy to do so, cannot see why they won’t, we do have long term relationship with them, cement is old one as well.

That is a normal price for the Medtronic Essentials kypho kit.
