Caspar Retractor 55cm side screw

Clinical Application

Designed to provide stable, hands‑free retraction for anterior cervical spine procedures, the Caspar-style retractor with side screw is commonly used during anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) and similar approaches where sustained tissue separation and exposure of vertebral bodies is required. Its self‑retaining function frees an assistant and maintains consistent exposure for discectomy, implant placement, and imaging.

Design & Configuration

The side‑screw configuration permits incremental adjustment and reliable locking of blade position without obstructing the working corridor. A 55 cm shaft length provides extended reach for deeper exposures or for use with table-mounted supports and retractor frames. The self‑retaining geometry maintains constant tissue tension and reduces the need for manual holding, improving procedural efficiency and visualization.
