Caspar Retractor w/5, blades 40mm to 60mm

Clinical Application

This Caspar-style cervical retractor provides stable, self-retaining exposure for anterior cervical spine procedures, including anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF), anterior cervical corpectomy, and other anterior neck approaches. The system is intended to maintain consistent soft-tissue and esophageal retraction while freeing the surgical assistant, improving visualization of the operative field and facilitating microsurgical discectomy, grafting, and hardware placement.

Design & Configuration

The five-blade configuration permits tailored retraction patterns for single- and multi-level procedures. Interchangeable blades in the 40 mm to 60 mm range accommodate varying soft-tissue depths and patient anatomy, enabling appropriate reach to cervical levels while minimizing excessive tension on surrounding tissues. The self-retaining mechanism maintains reproducible exposure throughout the procedure, reducing the need for manual retraction and improving surgeon control during implant placement and decompression.
