Hudson Brace 10 1/2″ (26.7cm), with standard thumb screw chuck
This Hudson Brace measures 10½” (26.7cm) and is fitted with a standard thumb screw chuck, the more traditional locking mechanism within the Hudson Brace family and one that many surgeons who trained on older equipment still prefer.
The thumb screw design trades some speed for tactile certainty. A surgeon can feel the bit seat and lock rather than relying on a mechanism that clicks or snaps into place, which matters in procedures where confirming a secure fit by touch reduces the risk of bit slippage mid-drill.
Standard thumb screw chuck for manual bit locking
10½” (26.7cm) overall length
Compatible with Hudson-pattern drill bits and burrs
Suited to orthopedic and cranial procedures requiring manual control
Within our bone surgery instruments category, this brace is built from surgical stainless steel and designed to hold its chuck tension through years of repeated use, a detail that becomes more noticeable as cheaper alternatives loosen and require more frequent tightening.
Hospital procurement teams standardizing on Hudson pattern equipment across multiple departments will find this a straightforward addition, and it pairs naturally with the full range of Hudson burs and perforators are already in the same category. For surgeons who value the certainty of a manually locked chuck over the marginal speed gain of a snap mechanism, this remains a dependable choice.
