Clinical Application
Used to provide controlled exposure of the lumbar vertebral column during posterior spinal procedures. The retractor is intended to maintain access to the operative site and improve visualization of bony and soft-tissue anatomy for spine surgeons performing laminectomy, discectomy, decompression, posterolateral fusion, and instrumentation placement. The 65 mm size is suited for single-level lumbar exposures and situations where a moderate working width is required.
Design & Configuration
Caspar-style geometry concentrates on delivering a stable surgical field while minimizing repeated manual retraction. The blade geometry and working width are selected to balance soft-tissue displacement with direct line-of-sight for instrumentation and visualization. A 65 mm working dimension provides adequate lateral exposure for common posterior lumbar approaches without excessive soft-tissue retraction, helping to reduce fatigue for assistants and maintain consistent access throughout the procedure.
