Blades only for Cloward Retractor 40x16mm

Clinical Application

These replacement blades are designed to provide focused, low-profile exposure of the anterior cervical spine during procedures such as anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) and the classic Cloward procedure. When mounted in a Cloward-style retractor system, the blades maintain stable separation of soft tissues and provide direct visualization of the disc space and vertebral endplates, facilitating safe disc removal, endplate preparation, and interbody graft placement.

Design & Configuration

The 40 x 16 mm rectangular footprint delivers a broad contact area while remaining low-profile to minimize soft-tissue compression in the limited cervical corridor. The blade-only configuration allows surgeons and OR staff to select and assemble the appropriate blade size to match patient anatomy and the Cloward retractor frame in use, enabling targeted exposure without unnecessary bulk. Precision edges and a flat seating surface ensure secure engagement with standard Cloward blade holders for stable retraction.
