Need definition
Procedure mix, current device, failure mode, and stakeholder map.
SURGICAL & INTERVENTIONAL DEVICES
Built around the procedure. Supported beyond the case.
Conmed brings energy, access, visualization, and orthopedic workflow choices into one practical evaluation path for hospital and ASC teams.

DECISION MILESTONES
A disciplined path from need statement to supported use
Each gate creates an artifact your value-analysis committee can review. Timing is a planning framework, not a promised implementation schedule.
Evidence screen
Indication, labeling, comparator, and local-policy fit.
Hands-on evaluation
Setup, ergonomics, activation, cleaning, and turnover checklist.
Economic model
Acquisition, consumables, reprocessing labor, service, and downtime.
Controlled adoption
Training sign-off, par levels, complaint route, and review date.
WHERE WORKFLOW CHANGES
Start with the clinical setting, not a catalog number
General Surgery
Energy delivery, smoke management, access, and instrument exchange.
Ambulatory Surgery
Fast room reset, predictable packs, compact capital, and staff cross-training.
Orthopedics
Arthroscopic visualization, fluid management, fixation, and power workflow.
Endoscopy
Visualization, tissue management, accessory readiness, and reprocessing handoff.
Sterile Processing
IFU access, tray integrity, cycle compatibility, and traceable release.
“
We evaluate surgical technology at the handoff points: setup, use, turnover, and support. A clear checklist keeps preference from outrunning evidence.
Composite perspective · Value analysis and perioperative operations roles
Illustrative role-based statement; not a named customer endorsement.MODEL THE WHOLE LIFECYCLE
Four numbers to establish before a trial
Replace assumptions with site-specific inputs, then record the source and owner for every figure.
PREPARE A PROCEDURE REVIEW
Bring the case mix. Leave with a documented next step.
Tell us the specialty, incumbent workflow, approximate annual case volume, and the problem your team is solving.
- Role-based routing for clinical, biomed, and procurement teams
- Device-family and documentation checklist
- No public price claims; contracting stays scope-specific
