Clinical Application
Provides targeted medial retraction when used with a Caspar cervical retractor system during anterior cervical procedures. Commonly used in anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) and other anterior exposures of the cervical spine to maintain a consistent operative corridor, protect midline soft tissues, and improve visualization of vertebral bodies and disc spaces.
Design & Configuration
The medial orientation and rectangular footprint deliver broad, low-profile contact with midline tissues, distributing retraction force to reduce focal pressure. The 65 x 23 mm footprint balances working exposure with minimal instrument bulk in the surgical field. Configuration is intended for positive seating on the retractor frame to provide stable, hands-free medial retraction while the lateral blade or other components complete the retraction assembly.
