Zimmer IB?

Zimmer IB, 2 knee components were used.


This is the sentence but it doesn't make sense to me.  What is IB? and should there be a comma after Zimmer or something?


Zimmer IB2
Subject: Zimmer IB2

I have spent sooo much time researching this.  During a total knee arthroplasty:  "Zimmer IB2 knee components were used."  I get the impression  IB2 has been discontinued, since even the Zimmer website does not list such an item.  Have any of you transcribed a TKA using a Zimmer IB2 implant?

Subject: Zimmer TM-100 cage used in back surgery

I'm doing a report for placement of a Zimmer TM-100 ______foam cage at the C4-5 level.  Neuro reports of this sort take me so long because I have such a hard time finding and documenting the instrumentation that they use!  I've checked my reference books and googled, to no avail.  I can't seem to figure out the first part of the 'foam' word for this cage.  It sounds kinda' like zylofoam, tanofoam or tilofoam.  Arghhhh!
