Blade Lateral for Caspar Retractor 50x24mm

Clinical Application

This lateral retractor blade is intended for use in anterior cervical spine procedures to provide reliable lateral retraction of soft tissues and exposure of the operative field. Common applications include anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) and other anterior cervical approaches where a stable, low-profile lateral blade is required to maintain exposure while minimizing interference with instruments and imaging.

Design & Configuration

The lateral geometry delivers a broad, flat footprint that distributes retraction forces over a larger surface area to reduce focal tissue pressure. The 50 x 24 mm footprint offers a balance between exposure and low profile, allowing the blade to seat into the Caspar retractor frame without excessive bulk. The lateral orientation facilitates retraction along the sidewall of the surgical corridor, helping to maintain unobstructed access to the cervical vertebral bodies and disc spaces.
