Clinical Application
Designed to provide controlled soft-tissue and bony exposure of the lumbar vertebral column during spine procedures. The instrument facilitates a clear operative field for common lumbar interventions such as decompression, discectomy, interbody fusion, and posterior instrumentation approaches. The 85 mm working length is intended to reach typical lumbar levels while allowing the surgeon to maintain direct visualization and instrument access.
Design & Configuration
The Caspar pattern emphasizes a low-profile working blade and rigid shaft geometry to maintain consistent retraction without obstructing the surgical corridor. For lumbar use, the 85 mm length balances reach with stability, enabling retraction of paraspinal musculature and soft tissues while minimizing bulk in the field. Smooth, atraumatic contact surfaces reduce soft-tissue damage and improve wound visualization; a secure handle interface supports precise placement and manual control throughout the case.
