INDUSTRY SESSION PODCAST: Rethinking the Economics of Bone Infection Care. Sponsored by BONESUPPORT™
This episode is sponsored by BONESUPPORT™, maker of CERAMENT® G with Gentamicin – the one and only FDA authorized, antibiotic-eluting bone void filler. For more information, visit https://www.bonesupport.com/en-us/products/cerament-g/  Paul Matuszewski, MD, from University of Kentucky is joined by Chris Cosgrove, MD and Peter Everson, MD to discuss how they’re using new technology and evidence to best care for their patients in today’s cost-conscious landscape.  Over the course of forty minutes, they discuss their move towards single-stage surgeries, shortened antibiotic treatment regimens, and how they’re even treating some of their patients outpatient with CERAMENT G. They also discuss the new CMS ruling for FY2027 and what it means for CERAMENT G.      Interested in staying in touch?
