Come on - not memory foam
Subject: Come on - not memory foam

Nothing comes to mind for the memory portion, but the foam is more than likely "from" edema, don't you think.
my first thought is offloading foam but not sure if that is right
Subject: my first thought is offloading foam but not sure if that is right

don't usually apply a foam such a a moisturizing foam or something that soaks into the skin. If they told the patient to change positions a lot or put extremities up, I would be more inclined to think it is offloading foam to take the pressure off the area of the ulceration.

Subject: Name of a spinal cage, neurosurgery

This sounds new - sounds like a "Bengal" cage.  It's not in my Stedman's Surgical Words, Third Edition, not in my Stedman's on line.  I tried Googling it, which usually works, could not find anything.  Does anyone know the proper spelling for this? - Thanks!

Zimmer TM-100 cage used in back surgery
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!
