SCHILLING Crutchfield Skull Traction Tongs

About SCHILLING Crutchfield Skull Traction Tongs

The SCHILLING Crutchfield Skull Traction Tongs are a precision neurosurgical instrument designed to apply stable, controlled axial traction to the skull during cervical spine procedures. They consist of two curved, crossed arms that are affixed to the parietal bones via pins or screws, connected through a central screw mechanism that adjusts and locks the spread. A base adapter permits secure mounting to the operating table or headrest. Manufactured from high-grade surgical stainless steel with a satin finish, the tongs ensure durability, sterilizability, and minimal glare. Ideal for maintaining cervical alignment and facilitating exposure during traction or reduction maneuvers in spinal or skull base operations.
