Clinical Application
Blades for the Caspar retractor provide focused, stable exposure of the anterior cervical surgical field. The 50 x 52 mm footprint offers a relatively broad contact area to retract soft tissues and maintain disc space exposure during procedures such as anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF), corpectomy, and other anterior cervical approaches. These blades are intended for use with Caspar‑style self‑retaining retractor systems to facilitate bimanual operative work while reducing the need for manual tissue holding.
Design & Configuration
The 50 x 52 mm geometry balances breadth of exposure with a low‑profile shaft to minimize tissue compression and allow unobstructed operative access. A larger rectangular blade surface distributes retraction force across a wider area of soft tissue, reducing focal pressure points that can lead to tissue injury. The blade’s attachment interface is configured for secure engagement with Caspar‑style blade clamps, providing stable, hands‑free retraction for the duration of the procedure.
Instrument Specifications
- Instrument type: Retractor blade for Caspar retractor
- Blade footprint: 50 x 52 mm
- Intended use: Anterior cervical spine exposure (Caspar self‑retaining systems)
- Construction: surgical‑grade stainless steel
- Reusable: yes — compatible with standard sterilization workflows
Material & Construction
Manufactured from surgical‑grade stainless steel for durability, corrosion resistance, and repeated sterilization. The smooth finish and radiused edges on the retraction surface are intended to reduce soft‑tissue trauma while providing a stable platform for exposure. Reusable construction supports cost‑effective instrumentation sets when instruments are inspected, cleaned, and sterilized according to facility protocols.
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.
