Clinical Application
Provides lateral exposure and sustained retraction in anterior cervical spine procedures. These lateral blades are used with a Caspar retractor system to maintain operative corridor and vertebral distraction during procedures such as anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF), corpectomy, and other anterior cervical approaches where controlled lateral retraction and protection of soft tissues are required.
Design & Configuration
The lateral blade geometry delivers a broad contact surface to distribute retraction forces over soft tissues and bony margins. The 55 x 23 mm footprint balances exposure with atraumatic contact area to reduce pressure points on soft tissue while maintaining stable retraction. Blades are configured to engage the Caspar retractor frame securely, allowing reliable fixation and adjustment of distraction without slippage during cases.
Instrument Specifications
- Instrument type: Lateral blade for Caspar retractor
- Pattern / model: Caspar lateral blade
- Configuration: Lateral retractor blade that mounts to Caspar frame
- Size: 55 x 23 mm
- Typical use: Anterior cervical spine exposure and distraction (ACDF)
- Material: Titanium (TiT)
- Reusable: Yes
Material & Construction
Constructed from titanium (TiT) for a lightweight, corrosion-resistant profile suitable for repeated surgical use. Titanium construction reduces instrument weight at the retractor interface, improving balance during long procedures and offering durability through standard hospital reprocessing cycles. The blades are designed for reuse and compatibility with common 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.
