Clinical Application
Blunt retractor blades sized 70 x 24 mm are designed to provide atraumatic soft-tissue retraction and consistent exposure during anterior cervical spine procedures, including anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF). The blade mounts to Caspar-style cervical retractor systems to help maintain working corridor, protect soft tissues, and improve visualization of the disc space and vertebral bodies during instrumentation and decompression.
Design & Configuration
The low-profile, flat footprint with blunt leading edge minimizes focal pressure on soft tissues while delivering stable retraction through the surgical field. The 70 x 24 mm contact area balances adequate exposure with a narrow profile suited for focal cervical levels; the blunt edge helps reduce the risk of tissue laceration when engaging and holding retraction. Blade geometry is optimized to seat into Caspar-type frames for secure fixation and predictable retraction vectors.
Instrument Specifications
- Instrument type: Blunt retractor blade for Caspar systems
- Size: 70 x 24 mm
- Tip: Blunt, atraumatic leading edge
- Typical use: Anterior cervical exposure (ACDF and related procedures)
- Material: Titanium (TiT)
- Reusable: Yes
Material & Construction
The blade is manufactured in titanium (TiT), providing a lightweight, corrosion-resistant construction suitable for repeated clinical use. Titanium construction reduces instrument weight for handling comfort and is compatible with routine decontamination and sterilization processes for reusable surgical instruments.
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.
