OUR MISSION
SurgiTel’s mission is to improve the way medical, dental and veterinary professionals work. We achieve this by creating innovative products that enhance:
- Vision
- Posture
- Comfort
OUR VALUES
Towards our clients, we strive to enhance our clients’ health through providing the best products which support the best working posture and comfort, alleviating all too common neck & back strains, and helping them provide their patients with the best care.
Towards our people, we strive to create a great place to work by providing our employees with good benefits, encouraging educational pursuits and overall work environment, and rewarding great performance.
OUR COMMUNITY
SurgiTel is proud to support our community through the Sharing Vision program, where we donate either 10% of our profits or 1% of our sales, whichever is greater. Through both product donations and financial support, we give to worthy charities. We work with charities to provide greater access to health and dental care to under-served populations. As a privately held and family-run business, we are able to commit to these goals without being hindered by the demands of Wall Street interests.
OUR PRODUCT DONATIONS
Since our inception, SurgiTel has worked with groups that distribute our products to numerous relief and missionary medical professionals in areas of need all over the world. Our donated products can be found in use in places from Afghanistan to Iraq to Guatemala, and even in disadvantaged areas here in the United States. We feel very fortunate that our donated products get to serve people in dire need.
OUR CERTIFICATIONS
SurgiTel voluntarily holds a certificate for the International Quality Standard 13485:2016 for medical device quality. To earn and maintain this certificate we must hold all of our operations to the strictest standards of design/development, production, and operation. Our certificate is provided by a third-party registrar (NSF) who continually holds us accountable for operating by this strict quality standard. This is an entirely voluntary process used to assure ourselves that we are able to outperform our competition through the highest quality control in all our work.
