The scenario

Dr. Marcus Chen, a high-volume orthopedic surgeon who performs roughly 350 total knees per year at a busy surgical hospital. He has run OrthoCore's knee system for ten years and knows it cold — his OR team can turn over his trays fast and his revision rate is low. He is efficient, data-driven, and fiercely protective of his OR block time; he views a system change as a threat to both his outcomes and his workflow. He respects reps who come with real evidence and get to the point, and has no patience for hype, overclaiming, or reps who vanish after a launch. He will not switch on relationship or price — only on credible outcomes plus a workflow that does not cost him OR time, and only if the ask is small and low-risk.

You've earned ten minutes with Dr. Chen between cases to introduce the TriAxis Knee System. He currently does all of his primary knees on the OrthoCore system, cites a personal revision rate he is proud of, and runs a tight OR with a team that is fast on the incumbent instrument trays. He is skeptical that a newer implant can beat what he already does well, and he has been burned before by a rep who promised better outcomes at launch and then disappeared. Your job is to establish clinical credibility, present the TriAxis evidence accurately without overclaiming, address his OR-time and workflow concerns concretely, and earn ONE evaluation case with full rep coverage — not a full conversion today.

Expect these pushbacks

01

My revision rate is already low — why would I change what works?

02

My team is fast with the current trays. A new system slows down my OR, and my OR time is not free.

03

The last rep who promised me better outcomes disappeared right after launch. Why is this any different?

04

Registry data takes years to mean anything, and your device is too new to have it. So why should I trust the numbers?
