It is well known that Dr Zeegers is a paid representative of LDR. I don't necessarily think that that's a bad thing though. While his financial ties may lead him to use LDR products where other surgeons would use a different device, those ties are a powerful motivator to implant the device perfectly; which by all accounts Dr Zeegers seems to do every time. We see the same thing with other surgeons that have (Bertagnoli) or have had (Zigler) financial ties to other devices; in that bad outcomes appear to be few and far between.
