See Dr. Simon's publication list for further ideas on orthobiologics knowledge.
As a scientist and later a Product Manager working on electrical stimulation devices at Biomet (formerly EBI, now Zimmer Biomet), Dr. Simon has extensive knowledge and experience in this field. He has trained over 1,000 sales representatives and given Grand Rounds, CME, and conference presentations in a couple hundred locations. Along with Orthobiologics, this constitutes a main area of Dr. Simon's expertise and training, and he is able to pass on that knowledge with his reputation for putting complicated subjects in easy layman terms that sales resp, patients, and other stakeholders enjoy.
While in charge of marketing and product development at Biocoat, Dr. Simon commercialized five new hydrophilic coatings for the company resulting in a doubling of revenue. He has used this knowledge to help other companies in their business and technical decisions for hydrophilic coatings projects since then. Those years of experience also presented a good general knowledge of component manufacturing and regulations. Several publications talk about Dr. Simon's thoughts on the hydrophilic coatings industry and are available on the web.
