Adson Cerebellar Retractor

The Adson Cerebellar Retractor carries the name of Dr. Alfred Adson (1887–1951), whose work helped shape modern neurosurgical technique. This self-retaining retractor holds soft tissue open with a light, even tension appropriate to cerebellar and posterior fossa exposures, where tissue must be controlled without being traumatised.

Slim curved arms and smoothly finished 4×4 toothed blades — offered in both sharp and blunt profiles — keep a stable hold while preserving the surgeon’s view of the field. Beyond posterior fossa work, the retractor sees regular use in tumour resection, vascular procedures, and spine and skull base access. Constructed from German stainless steel, it is fully autoclavable and made to withstand years of routine reprocessing.
