Midas Rex Perforator

Midas Rex Perforator is a precision cranial access instrument commonly used by neurosurgeons, trauma surgeons, and craniofacial surgical teams during procedures requiring controlled entry into the cranial cavity.

The perforator is specifically designed to create burr holes in the skull while minimizing the risk of inadvertent injury to the dura mater and underlying brain tissue. Its integrated automatic clutch mechanism disengages immediately after penetration of the inner table of the skull, helping prevent excessive advancement and enhancing procedural safety.

Designed for compatibility with the Midas Rex family of high-speed drill systems, the perforator interfaces with dedicated perforator driver attachments featuring Hudson-style connections. The Midas Rex platform supports both pneumatic and electric drill configurations for cranial procedures.

Available in multiple diameter options to accommodate varying clinical requirements and patient anatomies, the perforator provides smooth, efficient burr hole creation with consistent cutting performance. Models may be available in disposable or reusable configurations depending on institutional preferences and regional availability.

Manufactured from premium surgical-grade materials, the Midas Rex Perforator is engineered for durability, precise performance, and dependable safety during routine and emergency neurosurgical interventions.

Widely used in hospitals, trauma centers, and neurosurgical operating rooms, the Midas Rex Perforator is an essential component of cranial access systems.

Common Clinical Applications Include:

• Burr Hole Trephination
• Craniotomy Procedures
• Cranial Access Procedures
• Intracranial Pressure Monitoring Access
• Ventricular Drain Placement
• Subdural Hematoma Evacuation
• Cranial Trauma Surgery
• Stereotactic Neurosurgery
• Pediatric Neurosurgery
• Emergency Neurosurgical Procedures
