In this video, Dr. Schopler describes the risks associated with inconsistent patient positioning in spine surgery.

A Consistent and Repeatable Positioning Approach for Anterior Cervical Procedures

Recognizing that positioning the patient using makeshift tape and towels was time consuming and lacked consistency several Spine Surgeons wanted a better way. These surgeons, together with BoneFoam, developed the Anterior Cervical Spine System.

Recognizing that positioning the patient using makeshift tape and towels was time consuming and lacked consistency several Spine Surgeons wanted a better way. These surgeons, together with BoneFoam, developed the Anterior Cervical Spine System.

The BoneFoam Anterior Cervical Positioning System is a comprehensive spine positioning solution that optimizes cervical spine positioning for anterior procedures while providing a safe and stable operative surface that eliminates the need for unreliable time-consuming positioning with tape and towels.
