Thompson Surgical Instruments Brain Retractor is a reusable manual instrument made from stainless steel and aluminum, as indicated. It is composed of materials that can be reused with steam sterilization methods. It is provided to the customer non-sterile. The Thompson Brain Retractor is a retractor system used to create adequate exposure of the cranial region to assist surgeons in accessing areas for surgery. The system is comprised of a stainless-steel frame with 1/2-inch diameter frame components, which create a plane over the access point in the skull of the patient. The system uses stainless steel flexible arms that are attached to the frame to hold blades (stainless steel), which ultimately retract the tissue for the needed exposure. The frame also acts as a rest for the surgeons' wrists/hands during the procedure, as well as an attachment point for various accessories to aid the surgeon (ex: pattie tray).

The system uses clamps, cam actuation, and screws to construct and support the frame. The flexible arms are attached to the frame via screw down mechanism and the flexible arms are tightened into a semi-rigid state also using a screw mechanism, very similar to the function of all the predicate devices.
