The Budde Halo Retractor is a premier double-hinged cranial retraction system designed to attach directly to Mayfield skull clamps or OR table rails. Providing continuous low-pressure brain retraction and an integrated handrest for surgeon forearm support, it delivers exceptional stability during microneurosurgical and posterior fossa procedures.

Product Description

The Budde Halo Retractor is a specialized double-hinged cranial retractor system engineered to establish a low-profile, 360-degree stable working perimeter around cranial openings. Attaching directly to Mayfield skull clamp uprights or table side rails via heavy-duty support rods, it isolates brain retraction forces from the table to prevent accidental tissue displacement when the operative field shifts.

Engineered for precision microneurosurgery, the Budde Halo Retractor system features a double-hinged circular halo ring that can fold into a half-ring configuration for unrestricted lateral access. The ring itself acts as an ergonomic handrest to stabilize the surgeon's forearms during delicate dissections. The set comes complete with three 9-inch flexible friction arms, TEW micro blades, tapered curved brain retractors, an integrated pattie tray, a mini vise clamp, and dedicated adjustment wrenches.

Forged from non-magnetic, surgical-grade stainless steel with an anti-glare satin matte finish, Retractor Maker supplies the Budde Halo Retractor non-sterile and fully autoclavable in a heavy-duty perforated aluminum sterilization container, guaranteeing surgical precision and long-term durability.
