Blades for Caspar Retractor 35x37mm

Clinical Application

Designed to provide focused soft-tissue retraction during anterior cervical spine procedures, this blade is used with Caspar-style retractor assemblies to maintain an open, stable surgical corridor for procedures such as anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) and corpectomy. The 35 x 37 mm blade footprint offers a moderate contact area to displace platysma, prevertebral fascia and longus colli muscles while preserving visualization of the disc space and vertebral bodies. Clinically, the blade supports safer instrument passage, improved fluoroscopic access and reduced need for manual retraction during exposure and instrumentation.

Design & Configuration

The blade is supplied as a removable replacement component that mounts to Caspar-style retractor frames, enabling quick interchange and modular configuration in the OR. The specified 35 x 37 mm dimensions define the tissue-contact footprint, balancing surface area for pressure distribution with a low profile to minimize soft-tissue compression and optimize line-of-sight to the operative field. Removability facilitates cleaning, sterilization and selection of blade size to match patient anatomy and the exposure required by the procedure.
