Blade Lateral for Caspar Retractor 40x24mm

Clinical Application

This lateral blade is designed to be used with a Caspar retractor system to provide stable, hands‑free lateral retraction during anterior cervical spine procedures (for example anterior cervical discectomy and fusion and anterior cervical decompression). The blade’s footprint gives controlled soft‑tissue displacement and improved visualization of disc spaces and vertebral bodies while reducing the need for manual retraction. It is intended for use by spine and neurosurgeons in hospital operating rooms and ambulatory surgery centers where narrow cervical exposures are required.

Design & Configuration

The blade’s flat, rectangular lateral profile spreads retraction force across a defined footprint to reduce point pressure on exposed tissues and to maintain a consistent surgical corridor. A 40x24 mm footprint balances tissue displacement and anatomic preservation in typical anterior cervical approaches; the lateral orientation aligns with the Caspar arm to resist torque and maintain stable exposure throughout the procedure. Secure mounting features ensure the blade locks to the retractor arm for reliable positioning and easy intraoperative adjustment.
