Less VPeak Equals Less Thermal Spread
OPTIMAL CONTROL - BETTER OUTCOMES
Achieve better patient outcomes with less damage to adjacent tissue, during electrosurgery. Lower voltage (VPeak) generator utilization helps to reduce thermal spread (damage to to the tissue beyond the intended dissection).
Sub-brand Lock-ups
Through many acquisitions, Symmetry Surgical has a broad portfolio of trusted, market-valued and rich brands. These sub-brands tie directly into the Symmetry Surgical Brand identity and positioning, and make a significant impact on perceived quality and value.
One of the highest value brands acquired in 2019 is Bovie®. This specific sub-brand carries with it several taglines based on specific product categories as represented below:
Optimal Control - Better Outcomes
The generator product category differentiator is lower power and less VPeak providing more control at the cut/ coag site and allowing for better patient recovery/outcomes.
Optimal Control - Better Performance
The smoke evacuation line has clinical testing that proves that the ORCA eliminates up to 55% more smoke plume at the site of cut/coag providing control and performance.
Optimal Control - Better Precision. The Microdissection Needle is an electrocautery product providing an extremely sharp tip with precise performance.
The Genuine Bookwalter® Retractor has been the market leader in table-fixed Surgical Retraction Systems for over 40 years. The brand brings quality, strength, durability and versatility to the O.R. There are a lot of retractor systems out there today, but there is only one Genuine Bookwalter® .
Greenberg® has been a leader in the cranial retraction field for 40+ years and is sold exclusively through Symmetry Surgical.
Business Segments
Symmetry Surgical maintains an extensive product portfolio across all surgical specialties and sites of care. The portfolio consists of over 26,000 SKUs and 366 categories and Symmetry Surgical holds 166 patents. The portfolio is segmented into three business segments: Electrosurgery Solutions, Instruments & Solutions, and Minimally Invasive Surgery.
Modern Icons have been created to visually represent each of these categories for quick visual referencing as shown below.
With a wide range of instruments available, some trusted brands include; Bookwalter, Greenberg, Classic, Classic Plus, Sharp Kerrison and Rhoton serving all sites of care and surgical specialties.
Electrosurgery Solutions is represented by the Bovie® and Olsen® product portfolios. These portfolios serve Acute Hosptials, Ambulatory Surgery Centers, Physician Offices and Animal Health.
The Minimally Invasive Surgery product category is represented by several sub-brands including The OR Company™ and is primarily targeting Ambulatory Surgery Centers (ASCs) and Hospital Systems.
Lock-ups Usage
Lock-up usage is specifically designed to associate high-value brands with Symmetry Surgical to build brand equity and awareness for Symmetry Surgical.
Co-Branding
In certain circumstances it is desirable for Symmetry Surgical to use its brand alongside another brand. This is typically done with commercial partners where we distribute their product or the company is a distribution partner.
Co-Branding and Brand Use agreements are required domestically and internationally with each entity to ensure brand compliance, including brand and image usage to ensure brand and compliance with this style guide. Distributors will be closely monitored to ensure Symmetry Surgical brand requirements consistently meet brand compliance.
Brand Folder, a new digital asset management tool, is available for distributor partners to access images, images and collateral templates. The system provides a Digital Rights Management (DRM) feature consistently crawling the web to assess any non-licensed use of collateral, content, logo usage proprietary to Symmetry Surgical.
General Use Fonts
General use fonts may be utilized in any communication. The general use font selection was based on the clean appearance, ease of readability, wide universal accessibility and providing variants in style to diversify use.
It is recommended only two fonts be utilized within any piece of collateral to avoid visual confusion. For example, the headline may be one font and the body copy a different font. It is important to retain these standards throughout the document.
Arial
Arial (bold) is a tried-and-true classic font providing clean appearance and is easy to read.
Calibri
Calibri provides a more relaxed look vs the more formal appearance of Arial. This type font is the modern replacement of Times and universally readable.

Social Media
Social media is an excellent way to engage with our audience in real time. Symmetry Surgical will continue to leverage leading social media platforms to increase brand awareness, promote key products, and offer innovative solutions. In doing so, it is important that all team members uphold our brand standards across each respected platform.
As a key marketing channel, social media platforms must maintain the same creative integrity as the rest of the Symmetry Surgical brand.
The use of the Symmetry Surgical Favicon (Logo) can ONLY be used as a profile icon:
Additionally, the Favicon Logo as well as all social media cover art cannot be used for general ad purposes. The banner used on all our social media platforms are to be sycronised and are changed on a quaterly basis.
Symmetry Language
Symmetry Surgical language refers to the standard tone and voice of the messaging provided. Symmetry Surgical messaging and word choice should remain at the education level of the intended reader. The Associated Press (AP) Style Guide will be utilized for grammar and punctuation (as noted on the next page).
Tell it the Right Way
• It’s not about us. Keep the focus on the customer and avoid using “we, our” other personal pronouns that can direct attention away from the audience. • Avoid Insider Language: buzzwords and jargon used internally that would not be clearly understood by the audience. • Be clear and concise and avoid unnecessary prepositional phrases (of, to, on, in, upon, that). • Don’t over-explain and overwhelm them with words. • Let the visuals do the talking: A picture tells a 1,000 words • All acronyms should be spelled out on first reference with the acronym placed in (). Then acronym may utilized for additional references throughout the rest of the document.
Active Voice
As we strive to keep our messaging direct and clear, an active tone should be used.
Active voice means that a sentence has a subject that acts upon its verb. Passive voice means that a subject is a recipient of a verb’s action.
Active voice example: Symmetry Surgical acquired Bovie® .
Passive voice example: Bovie® was acquired by Symmetry Surgical.
Cadence and Tone
Symmetry Surgical needs to represented professionally in a consistent tone and cadence that is easily recognizable to the general public.
Tone is the state of mind, temper and/or mood of the messaging.
Cadence is the act or state of declining or sinking in a rhythmic flow. Cadence is important in flow of written text as well as music utilized in video background, virtual presentations and on-hold music.
Language No longer Used
In our evolution we have moved away from terms such as “our neighborhood”.
Punctuation and Word Usage
Symmetry Surgical has adopted the AP Style Guide for punctuation and grammar.. A few frequently used notations are provided below for a quick reference.
Numerals
Numbers 1-9 should be written out as a word (one, two, three). Numbers 10+ should be represented by a numeral (10, 20, 41) and appropriate comma usage over 999 (1,000; 34,000).
For numbers that must be spelled out, use a hyphen (ex: Twenty-five, Sixty-two) to connect the words.
Add period (.) to separate phone numbers and dates. (ex: 615.100.100) (ex: 10.30.20)
For mm, cm no space is used between the number and the metric reference. For example: 4mm and 5cm.
Oxford Commas
Symmetry Surgical will not utilize the Oxford Comma. The Oxford Comma is the last comma utilized in a series before the word “and”. (ex: Tim, Tom , and Jim)
Hyphens
Hyphens may be used in place of commas
Compound Modifiers
Use a hyphen if a compound modifier (ex: part-time job, bite-size snack, first-place medal) precedes a noun.
Adapter vs Adaptor
Use adaptor when referring to devices and adapter when referring to people.
Legal and Regulatory Compliance
Collateral Requirements
Symmetry Surgical requires a clear marking for version control and date of the document creation or update. All collateral created will have this version control number placed in the bottom right corner of the document.
The version control number is represented by XX. XX. XXvX (MM.DD.YYv#). v# is the concurrent number of times this document is finalized and distributed. For specific energy product catalogs having both acute and non-acute versions, the naming convention will also include the appropriate term associated. For example Acute12.10.21v2 or NonAcute12.10.21v2.
