Clinical Application
This central blade is a replacement component for the Vicker Sprader designed to provide controlled central spreading within the working field. When installed in the sprader frame it maintains consistent separation of tissues or wound edges, improving exposure for dissection, visualization, hemostasis, and device placement. Keeping spare central blades available reduces instrument downtime and supports efficient turnover in the operating room or procedure suite.
Design & Configuration
The blade is supplied as the central element only, sized 12x10mm for a compact footprint suited to narrow or confined operative sites. The central location of the blade provides symmetric separation forces that help stabilize adjacent tissues without adding bulk to the outer arms of the sprader. Precision-machined mating surfaces ensure a secure engagement with the sprader frame to maintain position during retraction.
