Blades blunt for Caspar Retractor 45x20mm

Clinical Application

Blunt retractor blades for Caspar systems provide atraumatic soft-tissue retraction during anterior cervical spine procedures such as discectomy, decompression, and fusion. Their blunt working edge minimizes focal tissue injury while maintaining consistent exposure of the disc space and vertebral bodies. These blades are intended to mount to Caspar-style distractor/retractor frames to hold soft tissues and musculature laterally for operative visualization and instrument access.

Design & Configuration

The 45x20 mm footprint delivers a compact, rectangular contact area that balances working exposure with controlled tissue pressure. A blunt edge reduces risk of sharp-tissue penetration while distributing load across the blade surface to limit tissue ischemia. The geometry is optimized for anterior cervical corridors where a moderate width and depth are required to maintain visualization without excessive retraction of surrounding structures.

Instrument Specifications

• Instrument type: Retractor blade for Caspar system
• Configuration: Blunt, rectangular footprint
• Size: 45x20 mm
• Intended use: Anterior cervical soft-tissue retraction and exposure
• Compatibility: Designed to interface with Caspar-style cervical retractor frames

Material & Construction

Constructed from surgical-grade stainless steel to provide durability, resistance to corrosion, and suitability for repeated sterilization cycles. The solid, single-piece blade design facilitates cleaning and reduces crevices where biological material can accumulate. Intended for reuse following validated hospital sterilization protocols (autoclave-compatible).

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.
