Hudson Brace

The Hudson Brace is a manually operated surgical drill used for creating burr holes in the skull during craniotomy, neurosurgery, and emergency trauma procedures. This traditional, hand-cranked instrument provides controlled rotational force, allowing surgeons to safely penetrate cranial bone without the need for electric or pneumatic systems. Widely used in low-resource settings, field surgeries, and trauma units, the Hudson Brace is compatible with a range of cranial perforator bits, including Dura Guard and clutch-type perforators.

Its durable construction and mechanical simplicity make it an essential tool for precise bone drilling, especially in locations where powered surgical tools are unavailable or impractical. The Hudson Brace offers reliable torque control, tactile feedback, and excellent maneuverability, ensuring safe bone entry with minimal risk of plunging or dural injury.
