Blades blunt for Caspar Retractor 45x23mm

Clinical Application

Blunt blades for the Caspar retractor are used to maintain a stable surgical corridor during anterior cervical spine procedures. They provide atraumatic retraction of superficial soft tissues, platysma, and longus colli muscle layers to expose the anterior cervical vertebrae and disc spaces for procedures such as anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF). The blunt profile reduces focal pressure on tissue while preserving working space for instrumentation and visualization.

Design & Configuration

The paddle-style, blunt geometry distributes retraction forces across a 45 x 23 mm footprint to minimize localized tissue trauma while maintaining effective exposure. Low-profile mounting to the Caspar arms helps keep the surgical corridor unobstructed and allows precise positioning and depth control. The blunt edge is optimized to retract soft tissue without sharp penetration, improving tissue handling and reducing risk of inadvertent injury.
