Testimonials

Mike Meeks
“I quickly identified Peter Huck as a capable channel partner for my new product. In his role as the General Manager of a major medical supply company, Pete introduced the InfoDot™ bar code label to the medical marketplace (for the purpose of tracking individual surgical instruments within a variety of major software applications). He proved to be an enthusiastic partner in bringing the InfoDot to market and became an industry expert, quoted widely in a variety of industry journals. I am delighted to be involved with Prairie Surgical because of its innovative approach to providing products that focus on surgical instrument cleaning. I look forward to sharing my knowledge and experience as we develop new products for sterile processing. I have always found Pete to be a person of integrity and commitment to whatever he pursues.”

“I first met Peter Huck when he became the Vice President of NorthStar Medical – responsible for the final development, marketing, and distribution of our new orthopedic “Beach Chair” positioner for shoulder cases. His positive attitude and curiosity about how routine tasks could be done faster, easier, and better inspired all of us on his team. As a surgeon, I am always concerned about infection in the OR and the steps that are taken in sterile processing to mitigate those risks to my patients. Pete’s unique approach to looking for new ideas and innovative solutions will quickly differentiate Prairie Surgical from other suppliers.”

Wally Danielson
“I worked with Peter Huck at NorthStar Medical as a member of his Board of Directors. Pete was creative in coming up with novel ways to market our new “Beach Chair” orthopedic positioner to surgeons across the country using a network of distributors that he developed with minimal expense to our company. He listened to the feedback from his reps in the Operating Room and quickly made changes to our product that resulted in a product that was successfully patented. I am looking forward to working with Pete again and sharing my experience with Prairie Surgical as we develop new products for sterile processing.”

Prairie Surgical has established an Advisory Board of industry professionals consisting of four sterile processing managers, an orthopedic surgeon, a major scope sales representative/corporate trainer, and several business executives.

“I have had the pleasure of knowing Peter Huck for many years. I became acquainted with Pete when he was the General Manager for a major medical supply company. Pete visited our facility several times and was instrumental in helping us to recognize and appreciate all the uses for his products. Pete has a very personal approach and listened to us as customers. He helped us solve some issues and look for new ways to use his products to their full potential. I am privileged to be his colleague and appreciate his ability to be innovative, flexible, and passionate about his work.”

“Peter approached me a few years ago after I published a journal article about using bar code labels on instruments and trays. He shared some interesting ideas and concepts with me about bar code labels and we developed a friendship primarily based upon sharing ideas and concepts. Over the years he has run several concepts by my department and we have responded as to how we thought that would work or how it might not work. I always liked his direct approach because you knew where he was coming from and he really just wanted my opinion, nothing more. I think this latest venture is exciting and innovative because it is something that is needed regularly but really is a niche market. It is many times difficult to find something that really does a good job of cleaning some of our equipment and it is sometimes difficult to find exactly the right thing. Now we have someone who can answer our questions about cleaning products. This is a great idea.”
