Clinical Application
Designed to provide atraumatic retraction of soft tissues and vertebral surfaces during anterior cervical procedures, including anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF). The blunt contact surface distributes retraction forces across the longus colli and anterior vertebral bodies to improve exposure of the disc space while minimizing focal tissue injury to the esophagus, trachea, and neurovascular structures.
Design & Configuration
The rectangular 30x24 mm contact footprint provides a broad, low-profile surface for engaging vertebral bodies and surrounding soft tissue. A blunt, atraumatic edge reduces the risk of tissue perforation and localized pressure injuries compared with sharp blades. The blade geometry is optimized to seat securely in Caspar-style retractor frames, maintaining stable exposure and even distraction during instrumentation and graft placement.
Instrument Specifications
- Instrument type: Blunt retractor blade for Caspar systems
- Size / footprint: 30x24 mm
- Edge pattern: Blunt, atraumatic
- Intended use: Anterior cervical spine retraction / ACDF exposure
- Reusable: Yes

Material & Construction
Constructed from titanium (Ti) to provide a lightweight, corrosion-resistant alternative to stainless steel while preserving structural rigidity needed for reliable retraction. The robust construction supports repeated clinical use and routine sterilization cycles typical in operative settings.
Quality & Compliance
Manufactured by FDA-registered OEM facilities and produced under strict quality control standards.
Brand Comparison
Comparable in form and function to equivalent instruments offered by major US medical suppliers.
