WATERLOO—艾米丽Boge is leaving her mark on the field of dental hygiene.
更准确地说, it’s on a newly designed tool commonly used by dental hygienists to clean patients’ teeth.
American Eagle Instruments calls its new dental scaler the Boge 513. The modified sickle/hoe scaler was designed in partnership with Boge, 靠谱买球app推荐’s dental administrative chair and current 总统 of the Iowa Dental Hygienist Association. She attended the instrument’s June debut at the International Federation of 口腔卫生 Symposium in Basel, 瑞士, and its later domestic product launch in the Washington, D.C.,面积.
“They didn’t anticipate the response they got,博格说。. “It’s pretty cool how fast word can get out about a new product.”
Jim Kelley, chief of staff for Missoula, Mont.,-based American Eagle, said there was a “substantial inventory order” prior to the product’s launch. “The initial success was so great we actually went into a back order situation for a short time,他说. “永远不要低估艾米丽·博格.”
The Dyersville woman went to Hawkeye for her dental assisting certificate and hygienist degree. She earned a bachelor’s degree and a master’s of public administration at 上爱荷华大学. 2015年7月，她开始在靠谱买球app推荐工作.
During the 12 years prior working as a dental hygienist in Manchester, Boge had ideas about improving the instruments she used every day.
Involvement in a number of professional associations led to joining Colgate’s oral health advisory board. She also built a small business writing and speaking on dental issues. All of that put her into the orbit of those who could potentially do something with her product innovation ideas.
By the time Boge made the pitch to American Eagle, she was among a circle of dental industry people the company went to for feedback on their products.
“She came here on invitation from our director of sales,凯利说。, with seven other hygienists. “所有这些都是卫生学家的名人录.” Even so, he said, Boge stood out with a “dynamic personality” and “command of the subject.”
虽然, Boge提出了一个更长的概念, thinner scaler with a modified hoe shaped like the lower jaw. 美国鹰的XP技术, which embeds titanium nitride into stainless steel, creates an ultra-hard alloy that remains sharp for the life of the instrument. As a result, it can be skinnier than instruments that need regular sharpening.
Her unique hoe design is “kind of bent back on itself, 这就不可能削尖它了,凯利说。. Preliminary designs were created and prototypes made up in-house. After getting feedback and going through several iterations, the company “had an instrument design that married what her concept was,他说.
“这真的很整洁, because they don’t usually let dental hygienists design things like that,博格说。.
“New instrument design doesn’t usually happen in working with a hygienist, 这有点独特,凯利承认道. But Boge’s “strong conviction” about her design resonated with him.
This actually wasn’t her first time designing a scaler. In 2012, Boge worked with a different company to create an instrument that is still on the market. Because she and that company didn’t write up a contract in advance protecting her interests, “they kind of took me for a ride” financially.
So, Boge wanted to do things right on her second attempt. 她得到了凯利的合作.
我告诉她, ‘看, I have been in this business for over 20 years and I am not going to do something that isn’t a win-win situation,’”他说。. “If these terms don’t work for you, we won’t move forward. 我想我们俩都很高兴.”
The company got early indications the Boge 513 would do well.
“我们的产品销往世界各地, so we got the product into the hands of our biggest distributor in Germany,凯利说。. “反馈非常积极. The market immediately recognized it as being different.”
这是对6英尺的嘲讽, 1-inich Boge made about her height while eating out with Kelley and others during a dental convention is the origin of the tool’s name.
“She referred to herself as being 5-feet, 13-inches tall,凯利说。. “That was just a point of humor in all my correspondence with her. 我会叫她5-13.”
When it came to naming the instrument, he knew exactly what it should be.
“Nothing depicted the person better than Boge 513,凯利说。. “不管怎么说，艾米丽的个性有10英尺高.”
