There’s a position for Stryker for Medical Sales Rep for Emergency Care working with hospitals - the title is Patient Resuscitation and Treatment (PRT) Sales Representative. Does anyone have experience with this position and what it is like and expected pay/ work like balance?

hello all i am a urologist Over the years, I’ve been frustrated by the lack of standardization in digital flexible scopes. Each company seems to have its own proprietary processors and systems, making it challenging (and expensive) to maintain compatibility across devices.

I envision a universal platform that could integrate various digital flexible scopes into a single system—something versatile, efficient, and accessible. This could reduce costs for practitioners and enhance usability, especially in resource-limited settings.

I’m looking for like-minded individuals—engineers, designers, tech enthusiasts, or anyone with expertise in medical devices—who might be interested in collaborating on this project. Together, we can create a solution that could benefit practitioners globally.

If this resonates with you or you know someone who might want to contribute, let’s connect! Drop a comment or message me directly. Let’s bring innovation to healthcare.

Looking forward to your thoughts!

Anyone here specialize in 3D printing/CAD modeling for joint reconstruction, other types of surgeries, etc? I’m an ortho rep, and was just reading about some of that stuff and seems pretty interesting. I have zero knowledge on that stuff so just seeking to learn more.

What’s your day to day like? Is it fun? How’d you get into it?

Say in 10 years, what do you guys think will change in this industry? Goods and bads. Considering all the innovations in the (medical) world, where and how do you see the MDS in the future?

I just got my first job in device sales. I am 19, got kicked out of RT school (attendence, was in 23 credit hours and working on pilots license. also super in shape. bad stack... thought I could do it.) Regardless, I got hired by a respiratory device company. Shitty entry level I'm sure- I think I might want to stay in device sales. I'm probably going to finish my bachelors in Biomedical engineering or Chemical engineering. What moves should I take? How should I use my time? I am bright and adaptable. I have the potential to excel at device sales... but should I stay? Is it a good path? Or continue my goals of being a doctor? I am a female if that changes things as well (it could, I want kids)

How are you preparing internally for the implementation of the EUDAMED Vigilance module and its upcoming mandatory use in 2026? Since the playground came out I have been testing and providing feedback for improvement, but because of my involvement I suddenly found myself nominated to handle it and there are a lot of expectations. I feel a huge burden placed on mu sboulders. Any advice is appreciated and welcomed. Thank you.

considering a career transition and was hoping to get some insight on salary of silkroad clinical specialist with 5+ years of experience

After 6 years sales (spine)... I have begun actively applying to junior/associate product management roles.

Id be grateful for any chance to speak with some of the product management/PD folks in the sub.

Please comment or DM if youd be willing to discuss.

Hey guys,

Been in med device for 8+ years (5+ in capital equipment working with med simulations, medical device solutions) and with the last 2 being in dental and up north. Two winters in and just had to move back to Florida. Its brutal up north getting up in the morning heating up the car - shoveling snow, finish a case, scrape snows, heat up car, hit the gym - same thing - went out to eat , same thing. Kudos to all the reps up there that can handle that weather cold calling and doing cases on repeat.

I got back here a few months ago, didnt think it'd be this awful hard to land a job, just to have 2 back-to-back hurricanes landing. Finally got things back as normal as can be - but the updated resume and the job applications just isn't budging for recruiters/companies. Holidays are coming up so I'm pretty fudged until possibly Q1.

If anyone got an internal connection with an opening they're aware of and can can throw me a bone I'd appreciate it.

Thanks guys ~ much appreciate it.

Any structural or cardiovascular (coronary stent) reps here? Looking to transition into one of these divisions, currently a CRM rep on track to hit 120% to plan this year, but the work life balance is getting to me.

What is the work life balance in these divisions? What are some frustrations you deal with? What is the servicing aspect like? What is the comp like?

My book of business has a big share of loop implants so I have a lot of exposure with interventional cardiologists and built a great rapport with high volume accounts. Ideally stents would be the easiest transition due to these relationships. However structural seems very interesting and I also have a good rapport with some of these physicians also.

Hi, there. I have a question when my boss assigns me to figure out if we need apply a new 510(k) number or we can use one 510(k) number. Our company has a product that has already had a FDA clearance and a 510(k) number, let’s name it as 5.1. Now we have a new product 5.2 modified minor things based on the prior product 5.1. And we want to both sell 5.1 and 5.2 in the market.
FDA website has two documents Deciding When to Submit a 510(k) for a Change to an Existing Device Deciding When to Submit a 510(k) for a Software Change to an Existing Device seems to apply to design change for 5.1, not suitable for my case. Therefore I am looking forward your reply and help, thanks.

Hello, I’m a firefighter/paramedic in Illinois. Myself and a few friends are looking to create a product that requires sterile, water resistant fabric. We have 0 experience in regard to producing something and are looking for a company who could put together our product.

Just hoping to see if anyone here has either worked for a certain company or may have suggestions on where to start.

Or just consistently put in? (Sorry, I am in the finance background)

Hey - I’ve been hearing lots about Integra lately and am wondering if it’s still worth taking a sales job with them or if the company has too many issues right now. Anyone in sales working there? Would love to chat

For my Florida Reps going into hospitals:

Who do you find your best IDN’s are? I know some systems are likely more willing to purchase/spend/rent than others.

Which hospital systems are your go-to’s and which do you have the least success with?

I know there are a lot of variable’s, but generally speaking. Thanks!!

In a few months I was running complex/simple cases solo, available for my team all the time by covering cases late at night and working 4 months straight without a day off. BUT I once lied about my eta to get to a case and also I lied on my weekly report (totally my fault), all that happened in the span of two weeks, next thing I’m on a video call with HR.

I feel broken because I learned a lot in the short period of time and thought that Ortho would be my home for a long time.

Any advice on how to navigate this would be appreciated, feel free to be blunt in the comments because I screwed up big time.

I see a lot of people talking about medical devices sales but is anyone interested in selling cybersecurity solutions to device manufacturers/healthcare organizations?

I’m about to open up a position here at my company soon so I wanted to check here first.

I was in the hospital the other day and seeing all the sick people and just frankly being in that environment for an extended period of time was an ultimate red pill for me. I started thinking (perhaps dooming) about how my current job as a full time software engineer does not have nearly the amount of scope/impact as if I wrote code for medical device software (for life saving technologies)

I just want to use my technical skills to make an impact in this world. I know nothing about healthcare, but know I want to contribute to things that actually matter. How does a programmer get involved in these things? Open source repos? Part time?

I work as an OR nurse. My husband is miserable at his job. I suggested he work for either Arthrex or Stryker. Both of them have job openings for medical sales reps/product specialists in my area.

He has a lot of charisma and has managed and has some sales experience. I thought he would be great for this job.

I know a lot of of the Stryker and Arthrex Reps so it wasn’t hard getting him an interview. However, even though I know them, I don’t want to be rude and ask too much about their salaries. They said starting out he make about 70,000 a year. But both of these guys have been in a few years.

I wonder what most reps make after a few years and if they get any benefits?

Hi all looking for advice!

Currently have been an ASR for 18 months in neuromodulation. Love the role and was offered a promotion if I was willing to move. However I can’t move right now due to personal reasons and I am tied to the geography where I live. My manager pretty much said I was ready to have my own territory because I have been killing it quarter after quarter but my current rep is really comfortable with the commission that he’s making and doesn’t want to split the territory (We’re projected to make P club this year). It sucks because i don’t make commission and I am probably making a fifth of what my rep is making in a high COL area.

Not sure what my next best move is. I accepted this role originally because my manager said a promotion was guaranteed within 12 months if I proved myself (I have more than done that already). Currently interviewing at other companies two pharma, one diagnostic, and two surgery robots. I love being in the OR but this job has absolutely consumed my life for the past 18 months so I wouldn’t mind leaving for a bit to see what else is out there.

What is the next best move for me?

I was listening to JNJ’s Bernstein Conference from the Spring and when asked if there is an advantage of having medical and pharma under one umbrella

JNJ CEO said the ability to combine both into a product… mentioning TARIS Biomedical and its device targeting bladder cancer (JNJ actually acquired TARIS 2019)

What are some other examples of drug-eluting devices?

This subreddit has become nothing but college aged kids looking for job seeking advice. The advice you are looking for has been posted in here probably 10x a day. It has diluted the actual content those already in the industry are looking to discuss. Here’s how to get a job,

Have a few years B2B experience and apply to multiple jobs or talk to a rep you know. That’s about 80% of everyone in med device. This sub is unreadable with the amount of job seeking posts.
