We use MedWrench to extend our reach to our customers to inform them about our service.  Since using their service we have seen a great benefit in responses to our advertising on their site and social media outlets.  Also, their statistical response data reporting to our ad campaigns and email blasts are sent to us basically in real time and extremely helpful to understand what audience we are getting in touch with and who is interested in our services.  We will continue to use them to grow our business. - Justin Smith, ReNew Biomedical Services

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"I started using the “Ask A Question” service “MedWrench” offers a few months ago.  I found right away that it was like having the experience of hundreds of Biomed techs at my finger tips.  I would ask a real time question about a unit I was having an issue with and within minutes I would have one or more replies from someone in the field that had some real life experience with the same issue.
 
Nothing beats real hands on experience in a pinch and that is what MedWrench offers at a moment’s notice.  The best part of the service is that it doesn’t cost my facility a dime; you can’t beat “Free” in today’s economy!  Thanks MedWrench!" - Mike Holman, Biomedical Engineering Manager, Fremont Area Medical Center

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Working as a biomed through the growth of the internet, I knew that the concept of MedWrench was always a possibility.  It just took 20 years to get there.  The BiomedTalk listserv was great, as a first attempt to meet the needs of the biomed community.    Listserves are very useful, but they require that the subscribers perform frequent housekeeping to their inboxes.  Other sites did exist, but they were very generic and somewhat cumbersome.  I was introduced to MedWrench in its infancy through Myron Hartman, my co-worker in Penn State’s Biomedical Engineering Technology Program.  Myron described this new website designed for the biomed.  MedWrench is not just another website...it’s not just a database…it IS the biomedical community.  It’s the natural progression of this very challenging technical field.  As a technician, I would look to MedWrench for technical solutions before opening a service manual.  Often, real solutions to common failures are not included in manuals.
 
MedWrench is a valuable resource to those smaller regional biomedical departments and ISO’s that may not possess the level of support of larger metropolitan departments.  To the non-biomed (the manager, nurse or other healthcare professional), it’s a great resource for product information.  I logon daily in order to look for opportunities to contribute and offer feedback.  MedWrench is an extremely powerful tool that meets the (bio)medical community right where it needs to be and it’s a site for which I have been waiting for 20 years.  Great work MDPublishing Team!" - Ted Lucidi, CBET, MEDRAD Technical and Clinical Support Specialist

_______________________________________________________________________________

As an ISO serving the human and veterinary provider, costumers rely on our services for equipment uptime at a time when manufacturers discontinue support for equipment which has a longer life cycle; supporting longer life cycle products can be a daunting task without the support of the manufacturer. MedWrench combines equipment technical documentation, service part search, service technician collaboration and end user feedback making it a powerful resource that provides us with the tools to better service our customers. Thank you MedWrench!” - Ron Thorpe, BMET, Acura Medical Systems

With Medwrench, I am able to know things about medical instruments. I remember a certain day when I got a problem on the instrument that I was using. I have MedWrench to thank for helping me find the solution to the problem. I asked MedWrench and others provided an answer for me and the troubleshooting was then solved. This is how I learned about the great job MedWrench is doing in the field of Medical Instrument in general. Thank you. - Abisai Stephano, Supervisor, Mbeya Medical Research Progam, Tanzania

First off i would like to thank Medwrench and the Staff behind it who make medwrench possible. Without it I would have never gotten the help needed to repair some important equipment. equipment that to some may seem old and out of date but to us here in Honduras Central America, a third world country lacking the means to have good hospitals. I work for a Goverment run facility that provides healthcare for needy people and all our equipment has been donated to us from diffrent areas across the world and the majority of these equipment have arrived not functioning and that is where medwrench has been just that, a med "wrench", i recieved help and tips on repairing a ultrasound, c arm, and other equipments that were much needed. Not only do I thank you personally but every mother, father, and child that has so benefitted from these repairs. Medwrench has been a true blessing. thank you guys. - Manuel Tejada, Biolectronica
