The neurosurgical table and head frame introduced by Howell Medical today are specialized equipment specifically designed for neurosurgeries.
Given the unique requirements of these procedures, a low operating table is necessary, typically ranging from 500-550mm in height. Surgeons often prefer a seated position during the operation to ensure optimal precision and control. Howell Medical's neurosurgery table offers a minimum height of 500mm, which can be adjusted both in translation and rotation to accommodate various surgical needs.
Alongside an operating table, a head brace or brain traction system is crucial for successful neurosurgeries. Neurosurgical head frames are commonly made using stainless steel, aluminum alloy, or carbon fiber materials.
While aluminum alloy head frames are frequently chosen due to their affordability and practicality, carbon fiber alternatives provide added advantages such as enhanced visibility during surgeries; however, they come at a higher price point that may not be feasible for many healthcare institutions.
