Clinical Application
Provides stable lateral retraction for anterior cervical spine procedures, including anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF). Mounted to a Caspar retractor, the blade holds soft tissues and adjacent structures laterally to maintain a clear operative corridor to the disc space and vertebral bodies, reducing the need for manual retraction and improving visualization for dissection, decompression, graft placement, and instrumentation.
Design & Configuration
The lateral geometry and 40x23 mm footprint are intended to distribute retraction forces across a wider surface area, helping to minimize focal pressure on the longus colli and other soft tissues while maintaining exposure. The low-profile configuration permits unobstructed access to the operative field and is shaped to engage the retractor frame securely for stable, hands-free retraction during microsurgical maneuvers.
Instrument Specifications
- Size: 40x23 mm
- Orientation: Lateral blade for side retraction
- Compatibility: Designed for use with Caspar retractor systems
- Intended use: Anterior cervical exposure and soft-tissue retraction during spine procedures
- Construction: Surgical stainless steel, reusable
Material & Construction
Manufactured from surgical-grade stainless steel designed for repeated sterilization and clinical use. The robust construction supports repeated attachment and removal from a Caspar retractor frame without compromising dimensional stability. Reusable design allows for conventional hospital sterilization methods.
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.
