Blades blunt for Caspar Retractor 55x20mm

Clinical Application

Blunt retractor blades for the Caspar retractor are used to maintain soft-tissue and skin retraction during anterior cervical spine procedures. Their blunt profile minimizes focal tissue trauma while providing a stable working corridor for discectomy, interbody preparation, graft placement, and anterior cervical fusion tasks. These blades allow clear visualization of disc spaces and vertebral bodies without sharp cutting edges that can injure neurovascular structures.

Design & Configuration

The rectangular 55 x 20 mm footprint provides a balance of surface area and slim profile to maximize exposure while limiting soft-tissue compression. A rounded, blunt leading edge distributes pressure across the contact surface to reduce localized trauma and improve surgeon control when docking the retractor. The blade is configured for direct mounting to Caspar-style frames, ensuring secure fixation and reliable retraction throughout the procedure.

Instrument Specifications

• Blade dimensions: 55 x 20 mm
• Tip profile: blunt (rounded) leading edge
• Intended system: for use with Caspar retractor systems
• Clinical use: anterior cervical exposure (ACDF and related procedures)
• Reusable instrument suitable for repeated sterilization

Material & Construction

Constructed from surgical‑grade stainless steel to withstand repeated cleaning and sterilization cycles while maintaining edge integrity and surface finish. The blunt geometry is formed and finished to provide a smooth contact surface that reduces tissue snagging and facilitates irrigation and suction around the blade edge.

Quality & Compliance

Manufactured by FDA-registered OEM facilities and produced under strict quality control standards.

Brand Comparison
