Blades Medial for Caspar Retractor 45x23mm

Clinical Application

Medial blades for the Caspar retractor are used to maintain and protect the midline soft-tissue window during anterior cervical spine procedures such as anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF). The blade provides focused medial retraction of prevertebral soft tissues and facilitates a clear view of the disc space and vertebral bodies while the lateral blade or other retractor components manage surrounding tissues. The 45x23 mm profile is intended to provide a compact, controlled contact surface at the operative level for consistent exposure without excessive bulk.

Design & Configuration

The blade's dimensions create a low-profile, localized retraction surface that minimizes soft-tissue displacement while maintaining adequate exposure for microsurgical work and instrument insertion. A medial orientation positions the blade along the midline, helping preserve the corridor to the anterior spine and enabling the surgeon to work with parallel instrumentation. The form factor is optimized to mount to the retractor frame so the blade remains stable throughout distraction and operative maneuvers.
