EPA says that ethylene oxide sterilization is bad and dangerous as we reported last week. But as we mentioned, the risks may not be well quantified - and the crackdown may be keeping needed medical devices out of doctors hands. This week Gene sat down with Kelli Jonas, VP of Quality and Regulatory for MediSurge to talk about the ethylene oxide dilemma from the perspective of a manufacturer working hard to provide needed medical devices to doctors.

We rely on medical sterilizers to prepare the products that we design and that so many doctors and patients rely on. But are these sterilization services creating health problems for their communities? EPA says yes, others say no. All this as well as our interview with Carl Sturm of PSPS Business Abroad at the MEDICA tradeshow in Dusseldorf Germany. Carl knows all about lead generation, so if you are thinking of attending a trade show and don't know about lead generation... tune in!
