Dr. Hansen Yuan, Professor of Orthopedic Surgery at SUNY Upstate Medical University in Syracuse, New York shared his views on the need for the company's technology, "For many years I have said that there is a need to completely remove the nucleus material from the vertebral disc space before implanting devices such as a disc nucleus replacement.
