Blade lateral for Caspar Retractor 50mm

Clinical Application

Provides lateral soft-tissue retraction during anterior cervical spine procedures such as anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) and cervical discectomy. The blade secures to a Caspar-style retractor frame to maintain consistent lateral exposure of the disc spaces and vertebral bodies, improving visualization and freeing personnel from continuous manual retraction.

Design & Configuration

The lateral blade's profile is optimized to distribute retraction force across a broader surface area, reducing focal pressure on soft tissues while maintaining a stable field. Its mounting geometry interfaces with Caspar-style frames to provide a low-profile retraction element that preserves access to the operative site. The 50 mm dimension offers a moderate reach appropriate for many adult cervical exposures; selection should consider patient anatomy and target level.
