Clinical Application
Medial blades for the Caspar retractor are used in anterior cervical approaches to provide stable, hands‑free medial retraction of soft tissues and viscera during procedures such as anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF). When mounted to the Caspar retractor frame, the medial blade holds the soft tissue curtain and deeper structures out of the operative corridor to maintain a clear view of the disc space and vertebral bodies while reducing the need for prolonged manual retraction.
Design & Configuration
The medial blade geometry is sized to deliver focused medial retraction with a compact footprint. The 50x23mm blade area provides targeted exposure while minimizing bulk within the wound, which helps reduce tissue tension and optimizes access for disc work, instrumentation placement, and grafting. The blade is configured to interface with the Caspar cervical retractor system so that it can be positioned and secured to maintain consistent retraction throughout the procedure.
