Caspar Retractor 45mm side screw

Clinical Application

Designed for anterior cervical approaches, this self-retaining Caspar-style retractor provides stable soft-tissue and deep exposure during procedures such as anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF), cervical corpectomy, and other anterior cervical decompression or fusion procedures. By maintaining a consistent operative corridor, it facilitates visualization and instrumentation of the cervical vertebrae while minimizing the need for continuous manual retraction.

Design & Configuration

The side screw locking mechanism permits incremental opening and secure fixation of the blades without continuous manual hold, freeing an assistant and improving ergonomics in the surgical field. The 45 mm dimension gives reach suitable for typical adult anterior cervical exposures, balancing depth of access with control over tissue retraction. The self-retaining configuration maintains consistent retraction tension and minimizes slippage, which helps protect surrounding soft tissues and improves operative stability.
