  • Products & Services Who's
    WHO’S WHO PRODUCTS 2021 & SERVICES BUYERS’ GUIDE f knowledge is power, then time is surely money. That’s the idea behind the Podiatry Management Annual Buyers’ Guide: to save you time by providing you an Ieasy and convenient source of all the major podiatric products and services you use in the everyday course of running your practice. PART I 1 This year’s guide is divided into two parts. Part I lists company names alpha- betically and provides pertinent address and phone/fax/website information, with additional product and/or service data for advertisers in this special edition. PART II Part II, which starts on page 27, lists companies or organizations according to the type of product or service they provide. Listings in many cases feature both company/organization and product name; thus, if you’re looking for Amlactin under “Pharmaceuticals: Moisturizers,” you can find this brand name even if you don’t know that Sandoz is the manufacturer. HOW TO USE THIS GUIDE Another cross-referencing feature makes it easier for you to find related prod- ucts. For example, if you’re looking in the “Orthotics, Prefabricated” category, you will also find the cross-reference “See also: Insoles, Heel Supports, and Pads.” If you have an office manual, we recommend that you photocopy these pages and add them to your source lists. That way, the next time you run short of x-rays, for example, you can quickly locate a supplier. Incidentally, we encourage you to support these suppliers. Collectively, they provide the advertising dollars neces- sary to support magazines such as this; and many, as well, contribute to podiatric student scholarships and research.

    LONNIE PLAXICO Bassist, Composer, Producer The middle child in a family of musicians, Chicago-born lonnie Plaxico inherited a gift for music that was discovered and nurtured early. By the age of twelve he had taught himself to play the electric bass, and he was soon venturing into Chicago's music scene, renowned for its mix of jazz, funk and blues. It was not long before the young musician made his first recording, featuring his family's band. At the age of just fourteen, having already performed alongside several prominent Chicago jazz figures, Lonnie Plaxico turned professional, playing the electric and acoustic bass with equal facility. In 1980 Plaxico moved to New York and soon began to appear with such artists as Chet Baker, Dexter Gordon and Wynton Lonne Plaxico Marsalis.
