When we launched the Excellence in Surgical Products Awards back in 2009, it was a modest attempt to gauge exactly which new tools for the surgical area had most excited readers during the course of that year. In the time since, each rotation of the calendar has brought a chance to be reminded anew of the constant innovation occurring in the healthcare space.
And it’s time to start the process again.
Surgical Products will devote the November/December issue to the presentation of the 10th annual ESP Awards. As always, precisely which invaluable tools are honored is up to you, the Surgical Products readership.
Since we’ve reached the 10th year, the number of categories should certainly correspond. For the 2018 edition of the ESP Awards, nominations will be accepted in the following areas:
-
Apparel
-
Infection Control
-
Instrumentation
-
OR Equipment & Accessories
-
OR Visualization & Connectivity
-
Orthopedics
-
Patient Prep & Recovery
-
Safety
-
Storage & Supply Chain
-
Tables & Positioning
The first batch of nominees have already been submitted, and we will continue to accept new contenders through the end of this month. The nomination form can be found at the ESP Awards web page. For more information, email the Surgical Products editor at daniel.seeger@advantagemedia.com.
Nominated products will be featured on the Surgical Products website beginning this, and we’ll use the feedback from readers to select the winners.
