Blade Lateral for Caspar Retractor 45x24mm (TiT)

Clinical Application

This lateral retractor blade is designed for use with Caspar cervical retractor systems to maintain lateral exposure during anterior cervical procedures, including discectomy and fusion. The blade provides a stable retraction surface along the lateral border of the vertebral bodies and disc spaces, helping maintain consistent visualization of the operative field while protecting soft tissues and neurovascular structures. The 45 x 24 mm footprint is helpful when selecting blades to match patient anatomy and the desired width of exposure.

Design & Configuration

The lateral blade profile is configured to engage the Caspar retractor arm securely and present a low-profile, broad contact surface to distribute retraction forces evenly. This geometry reduces focal pressure on soft tissues while holding the operative corridor open during instrumentation and graft placement. Removable blades permit quick intraoperative changes in blade size or laterality (unilateral vs. bilateral blades) without the need to exchange the entire frame.

Instrument Specifications

Material & Construction

Constructed from titanium (TiT), the blade offers a lightweight, corrosion-resistant option suitable for repeated surgical use and standard sterilization processes. Titanium construction reduces instrument weight compared with heavier alloys while retaining structural rigidity required for stable retraction. The removable mounting interface is designed for secure engagement with Caspar retractor arms to ensure consistent positioning intraoperatively.

Quality & Compliance

Manufactured by FDA-registered OEM facilities and produced under strict quality control standards.
