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!
