Clinical Application
This lateral blade is designed for use with Caspar cervical retractor systems to provide controlled lateral retraction of soft tissues and neurovascular structures during anterior cervical procedures (e.g., ACDF, discectomy). The blade positions and maintains exposure of the surgical corridor to the vertebral bodies and disc spaces while minimizing the need for manual retraction, improving visualization and access for instrumentation and fusion work.
Design & Configuration
The lateral orientation of this blade directs retracting force away from the surgical midline, creating a stable, consistent working channel. An 85 mm blade length offers extended reach for typical cervical exposures while allowing the retractor frame to remain clear of the operative field. Smooth, radiused contact surfaces distribute pressure across soft tissues to reduce focal compression, and the profile is shaped to engage the retractor frame securely for predictable tensioning and wound stability.
