Customer success story: Promethean Restorative
Design-Driven Innovation Meets Smooth Regulatory Approval for 3D Printed Implants: Promethean Restorative Accelerates SI Fixation Commercialization with Amnovis
In the evolving landscape of spine surgery, where precision, speed, and surgeon trust are paramount, Promethean Restorative has emerged as a bold new force. Founded in 2023 by Glenn Bowman and Sean Dugan with the premise of “Design Matters”, the company’s validating statement is simple: “What implant would you want in your loved ones?” Although the market is mostly developed in the U.S., the implant technology was lacking key attributes sought by surgeons. That insight led to the development of a highly differentiated implant with simple and user-friendly instrumentation, which is rapidly gaining traction in both U.S. and international markets.
A Partnership That Delivered
When asked why they chose Amnovis over other vendors, Glenn Bowman, President & CEO of Promethean Restorative, explained: “We needed more than a supplier, we needed a partner who could match our urgency and precision. Amnovis stood out for their deep technical knowledge, flexible mindset, and ability to deliver prototypes quickly without compromising quality.”
He described the experience as “refreshingly collaborative. Their team was responsive, communicative, and proactive. Every interaction felt like a joint problem-solving session, not a transactional exchange.”

Accelerating Market Entry and Regulatory Success
One of the most significant benefits of working with Amnovis was the simplified regulatory pathway. Promethean Restorative launched their product on the U.S. market and obtained smooth FDA approval thanks to the Amnovis Master File, which is designed to simplify regulatory submissions for customers. Glenn Bowman confirmed the impact: “It accelerated our go-to-market timeline and reduced regulatory friction. Their clarity in documentation and speed in execution helped us avoid delays and maintain momentum.”
Initial doubts were quickly resolved: “Initially, we wondered if a newer partner could handle the complexity of our project. But those doubts disappeared the moment we saw their structured approach and technical fluency.”
Customer Intimacy and Shared Vision
Promethean Restorative values Amnovis’ customer intimacy highly: “Exceptional. They listen actively, anticipate needs, and communicate with transparency. It’s rare to find a vendor that feels like an extension of your own team.”
Looking ahead, Glenn Bowman sees opportunities for vendors to improve through “proactive regulatory support and more integrated digital workflows. Amnovis is already ahead in many areas, but the industry as a whole could benefit from tighter alignment between engineering and compliance.”
His advice to anyone hesitant about working with Amnovis is clear: “Don’t hesitate. If you value speed, clarity, and true partnership, Amnovis delivers. They don’t just meet expectations, they redefine them.”
A Win-Win for Patients
For Ruben Wauthle, CEO and Co-Founder of Amnovis, this collaboration demonstrates the value of combining innovation with operational excellence:
“Promethean Restorative is a U.S.-based customer who successfully launched their product on the U.S. market thanks to the Amnovis Master File. This approach simplifies regulatory submissions while relying on a scalable manufacturing process. It’s a win-win for both companies and ultimately benefits the patients who rely on these implants.”
“Amnovis is responsive, reliable, insightful,” Glenn Bowman concluded when asked to describe Amnovis in three words.
