Clinical Application
Designed for use with Caspar cervical retractor systems to provide controlled lateral soft-tissue retraction during anterior cervical spine procedures. The blade's footprint is suited to creating and maintaining a stable working corridor for anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF), discectomy, decompression, and other anterior approaches to the cervical spine where sustained lateral exposure is required.
Design & Configuration
The lateral blade geometry concentrates retraction force along a 65 x 24 mm footprint to balance exposure with tissue protection. Its lateral orientation permits unobstructed access to the operative field while minimizing interference with instruments in the midline. The blade is shaped for secure engagement with Caspar-style posts, enabling consistent fixation and predictable retraction dynamics throughout the procedure.
Instrument Specifications
