Blades Lateral for Caspar Retractor 50x23mm (TiT)

Clinical Application

This lateral blade is intended for use with a Caspar cervical retractor system to provide controlled lateral retraction during anterior cervical spine procedures such as anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF). The blade's broad, flat retraction surface helps protect soft tissues while maintaining a stable operative corridor to the vertebral bodies and disc spaces, improving visualization and access for discectomy, decompression, graft placement, and instrumentation.

Design & Configuration

The lateral orientation concentrates retraction force along a broad contact area to distribute pressure across muscle and soft tissue, reducing focal tissue trauma. The 50 x 23 mm geometry provides a compact but substantial footprint suitable for typical cervical levels, enabling predictable placement adjacent to the vertebral column. The blade is shaped to interface with Caspar-style retractor mounts, keeping the retraction vector consistent and stable throughout the procedure.

Instrument Specifications
