Like I said he told me he does about 50 mallabbles a year but over 300 implants a year altogether. I'm sure he uses other brands but I know for a fact he does not care for the tactra .. he used to like the spectra from the same company but not the tactra. He told me if I had a tactra with the same size rods I have 13mm that I would not hardly be able to bend it.
Valid points, easymoney. If someone is unable to travel to a specific high-volume surgeon and can only see a high-volume one in their hometown, I believe it's crucial to be implanted with the brand the surgeon has extensive experience with. I wouldn't want to be the first or even second Rigi10 or Tactra patient in their career.
Regarding Tactra, it's evident that there's an issue, whether it's due to poor quality control or poor engineering. I'm surprised by the lack of attention from the marketing department as well. Testing it manually is straightforward; no sophisticated tools are required to assess its bendability or malleability.
