COVID-19: Company Update From Dale Mitchell

Update: Wednesday, July 15 – Jupiter, FL

CONTINUING COMMUNICATION

As elective surgeries continue to remain uncertain in some areas, we want to responsibly continue to plan for slowdowns as well as ramp-ups. Our VP of Sales and Business Development, Greg Baumhover, will continue to be in direct contact with you regarding the status of your cases.

CONTINUED ENHANCED FOCUS

We have increased the availability of private educational webinars and training to accommodate the recent uptick in inquiries and other time-zone connections. Our most popular webinar is on the TransFasten Posterior SI Fusion System. We provide an overview of our proprietary Quadracentric™ site preparation and discuss the benefits of using a single allograft implant. Please let our Director of Clinical Affairs, Steve Saar, know if virtual training/support is something you would be interested in. We truly value the human factor, as hard as it’s become.

Update: Monday, March 16 – Jupiter, FL

During these unsettling and unprecedented times during the COVID-19 outbreak, the safety and well-being of our customers, employees, and the broader medical community is on the top of our minds. I wanted to personally reach out and address some of the actions we are taking to ensure your business continues to be supported by us:

Internal Facilities: We are setting up a portal on our intranet to make sure our employees maintain a heightened awareness and reminder of how germs can be easily transmitted. With that, we will be taking additional steps to ensure the cleanliness of our facilities and devices that are shipped and accepted from the field. Some of these items include:

  • Clean and disinfect frequently touched surfaces daily. This includes tables/desks, doorknobs, light switches, countertops, handles, phones, keyboards, toilets, faucets, and sinks.
  • Clean and sanitize hands often
  • Do not share phones
  • Keep hands away from the face at all times
  • Stay home if you’re sick
  • Cover coughs and sneezes with a tissue or elbow
  • Sanitize all incoming and outgoing containers and trays

Deliveries: Our delivery schedule will remain unaffected as long as FedEx/UPS continues to provide uninterrupted services. If you become aware of any circumstances in your facility that may prevent us from supporting your case on time, please let us know so we can make additional shipping arrangements.

Travel: We realize that travel is an important part of our day to day operations, but we are restricting air travel and setting up virtual training and communication programs to limit in-person interactions between customers and vendors. If you have any immediate needs for training or case support, please reach out to us so we can make proper and timely arrangements.

We will continue to monitor the CDC website and maintain awareness about recommendations from the surgeon general in regard to any cancellations of elective surgeries. If any of your case scheduling changes, please make our customer service department aware so we can be ready for you upon rescheduling.

Thank you for your patience and support during this time.

Kind Regards,

Dale Mitchell
President – Captiva Spine
