A neurosurgeon's simple observation on the Universal Prone Positioning System.

An impactful observation with a significant patient outcome.

Authentic, firsthand insight. Yesterday the BoneFoam global sales leadership team received an email from Singapore regarding the BoneFoam Universal Prone Positioning System. Rather than interpret or paraphrase the message, we believe it is important to share the simple feedback directly with surgical leaders across our global network. We will be following up with Dr. Thomas Tan to gain his perspective on the clinical and operational impact of the BoneFoam Universal Prone Positioning System. We are thrilled the BoneFoam Universal Prone Positioning System is adding to significant patient comfort during his patient's awake endoscopic spinal surgeries.

Dear Clint and Mark,

We would like to share an exciting update from Singapore.

Dr. Thomas Tan, a neurosurgeon, Head and Consultant of National Neuroscience Institute at Sengkang General Hospital, has completed more than 50 cases of awake endoscopic spinal surgeries, using the Universal Prone Solution (Awake - patient can talk and respond to the surgeon intra-op).

The comfort level of the patients has increased significantly after Dr. Thomas started using the Universal Prone Solution.

If you would like to get testimonials or more information from Dr. Thomas, we will be happy to.

Thank you.
