As of Nov 8, 2026, there are 298 live surgical instrument sales postings. Median advertised annual base: $75,000 (n=111), versus $130,541 nationally.
Energy devices, staplers, robotics, endoscopes and the reusable sets behind them — chosen by surgeons and bought by supply chain. One of the most contract-driven lines on the board. A single conversion can be worth years of revenue, so the sale runs through value analysis committees, evaluations and cost-per-case arguments as much as through the operating room itself. Robotics has changed its shape. The newer roles are as much about utilization and program building — keeping a system busy once it is installed — as about the original sale. 298 open roles right now. Every role here either names this line in its own posting or is at an employer that sells only this — never a guess from the employer’s industry.

As of Nov 8, 2026, 146 matching postings state a minimum of zero to two years, while 21 do not state a minimum. These are stated experience requirements, not a guarantee of entry-level eligibility.

The median advertised annual base is $75,000, calculated from 111 qualifying postings as of Nov 8, 2026. This uses each published range's midpoint and excludes hourly rates and on-target earnings. It measures advertised base pay, not take-home pay or first-year total compensation. 74% publish a numeric pay range of any kind.
The largest matching employer counts as of Nov 8, 2026 are Intuitive Surgical (61), Stryker (45), Applied Medical (41). These are currently advertised postings on MedSales Radar, not a complete census of hiring or proof of expansion. Counts can change after an employer refreshes its careers site; use the linked listings to check current requirements and locations.
0 of 298 matching postings are flagged remote as of Nov 8, 2026, meaning worked from home with no field territory; 178 state a travel percentage. A field role run from a home office is not counted as remote, because it involves customer visits and a defined territory. A missing remote flag does not establish an office requirement, and an unstated travel percentage does not mean no travel. Confirm territory and travel expectations with the employer.
