Customer Requirements 
Every year 10 million surgical procedures are performed within the ophthalmic ASC market.

How Austin Medical Technology Responds 
More than any other company in HealthCare, AMTK can help ophthalmic ASC's manage their costs and their resources. AMTK can address the 20-plus percent of an ASC budget that goes for supplies and the additional 20 percent or more that very often is devoted to managing those supplies.

More important, AMTK integrates its total product-offering with unique services that have been proven to help control HealthCare costs. AMTK helps its customers purchase and use fewer supplies. AMTK helps them order and manage inventories more efficiently.

Custom Procedure Trays (CPT's) aka "packs" incorporate 70-80% of disposable surgical supplies utilized on a procedure specific basis. CPT's is a 2 billion dollar industry HealthCare wide and $400 million within the ophthalmic ASC market. 95% of ophthalmologists utilize packs for Cataract, Retinal and Plastic procedures.
