(RōG) was started by orthopedic physicians and medical device specialists to provide quality, stable technologies to the orthopedic community. Many companies feel that they need to charge more for their products in order to continue to develop new products for orthopedists. Products that have long lost their intellectual mark-up (patent value) continue to demand inflated prices under the auspice of funding future products. Meanwhile, reimbursement for surgical cases continues to decline. We feel that this form of cost shifting is incorrect. Products that are innovative should command top dollar. When they become stable, the savings should be passed along to the consumer. This is what happens in all other industries.Therefore, RōG utilizes stable technologies that have exhausted their intellectual mark-up. RōG products are FDA approved, BSI certified, ISO stamped and stringently tested no different than the publicly traded giants of the industry. Only difference is we don’t charge you their high prices, handcuff you to long and complicated contracts or consignment agreements that leave the surgery center and hospital drowning. RōG products are designed, built and tested in the United States in accordance to the highest American standards.
