Dr. Julianne Santarosa, MD

As a general surgeon who specializes in spinal access, I consistently see how previous surgeries can impact my work and the patient’s outcome. Throughout my training and practice, there has been an emphasis on the importance of using a barrier to separate tissue planes. For the last 5 years, I have been utilizing a translucent dCHPM allograft as a barrier in spinal fusion surgeries. This allograft has a compact format for a lower profile placement, is easy to handle, and takes very little time to apply. I’ve seen a notable difference in my surgical outcomes, both post-operatively and in instances of re-operation. I would highly recommend dCHPM allografts to my fellow surgeons.
