Blades Lateral for Caspar Retractor 45x20mm

Clinical Application

This lateral blade is intended for use with Caspar retractor systems to provide focused lateral retraction and exposure during anterior cervical spine procedures such as anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF). The 45x20mm footprint creates a controlled working corridor at the disc level, allowing direct visualization of the disc space and vertebral bodies while helping to protect surrounding soft tissues and neurovascular structures.

Design & Configuration

The lateral geometry concentrates retraction force along a defined 45x20mm surface area, which helps distribute pressure evenly across soft tissues and reduces the need for repeated adjustments. The flat, laterally oriented profile is shaped to mate with standard Caspar retractor arms, maintaining stable exposure once engaged. This configuration facilitates instrument access and microscopic or endoscopic visualization by keeping the surgical field unobstructed.
