Clinical Application
Designed for use with Caspar anterior cervical retraction systems, this blunt blade provides atraumatic lateral retraction of soft tissues during anterior cervical discectomy, fusion, and other anterior cervical spine procedures. The broad, blunt contact surface helps distribute retraction forces across the prevertebral fascia and longus colli, reducing focal pressure on soft tissues and adjacent structures such as the esophagus and trachea while maintaining exposure of vertebral bodies and disc spaces.
Design & Configuration
The 35 x 24 mm contact face offers a controlled, stable footprint for soft‑tissue retraction in the limited operative corridor of the anterior neck. A blunt edge minimizes the risk of tissue penetration and ischemia compared with toothed or sharply contoured blades. The geometry is optimized to deliver consistent lateral retraction when engaged with a Caspar‑style frame, providing clear exposure with predictable force distribution—important for delicate dissection and implant placement.
Instrument Specifications
