“We’ve had an incredible time at the conference so far — don’t miss your chance to stop by! Come say hi to Alison at the Thompson Retractor booth #325 and get a firsthand look at our latest and greatest retractors.”

Skull Clamp-Mounted Brain Retractor System Best for cases using rigid head fixation. ✔ Locks directly to most skull clamps (e.g., Mayfield) ✔ Moves with the patient’s head for unmatched stability ✔ Ideal for deep exposure during complex craniotomies

Table-Mounted Brain Retractor System Perfect when a skull clamp isn’t used or available. ✔ Mounts securely to OR table rails ✔ Provides rigid, self-retaining exposure without skull fixation ✔ Great for trauma, pediatrics, or select minimally invasive procedures

"What really sets Thompson apart is the usability, the adaptability and the dependability. That's what has always defined Thompson for me." – Jonathan E. Schoeff, MD, FACS

"The advantages of the Thompson Retractor over other retractors include excellent upper abdominal visibility thanks to the ability to perform Subcostal Retraction." – Mehrdad Nikfarjam, MBBS, MD, PhD, FRACS SWIPE TO SEE IT IN ACTION >>

“So what I see the value of the elite rail clamp in is, is really being able to do single person sterile attachment of the bed rail clamp, which seems again very simple, but can be very difficult and inconvenient in in the context of surgery....” – Jonathan E. Schoeff, MD, FACS
