How surgical appliance and supplies manufacturing are reshaped as AGI capability advances.
The bottom line
Only about 20% of Surgical Appliance and Supplies Manufacturing is information work today — the rest is physical, and moves slowly. The exposure is concentrated in the back office: the books, the paperwork, the scheduling, the marketing.
