Clinical Application
The Caspar retractor frame provides a rigid, self-retaining platform for anterior cervical exposure during procedures such as anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF), cervical corpectomy, and other anterior approaches to the cervical spine. The frame establishes and maintains lateral soft-tissue retraction to optimize line-of-sight to the disc space and vertebral bodies, reducing the need for continuous manual retraction and facilitating safe placement of interbody implants, screws, and other instrumentation.
Design & Configuration
This 16.5 cm frame is offered as a modular, blade-less unit to integrate into instrument sets where blade selection is determined by surgeon preference or case requirements. The frame supplies multiple mounting points for Caspar-style blades and provides stable lateral distraction and tissue containment. Selecting a frame-only configuration allows teams to carry a single reusable frame while stocking a range of blade sizes and profiles to match patient anatomy and procedural needs.
