Blade Lateral for Caspar Retractor 30x24mm (TiT)

Clinical Application

This lateral blade mounts to a Caspar cervical retractor to provide sustained lateral soft-tissue retraction during anterior cervical spine procedures. It is intended to maintain a clear operative corridor for visualization and instrumentation of vertebral bodies and disc spaces in procedures such as anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF), corpectomy, and anterior decompression.

Design & Configuration

The lateral configuration gives a broad contact surface along the side of the surgical field to stabilize and maintain lateral retraction. The 30x24 mm footprint distributes contact pressure over a greater surface area, reducing focal tissue stress during prolonged exposures. The blade is shaped to interface directly with Caspar retractor assemblies, enabling secure positioning and predictable retraction geometry that assists the surgeon in maintaining consistent exposure without continuous manual retraction.

Instrument Specifications
