Caspar Retractor 60mm side screw

Clinical Application

This self-retaining Caspar-style retractor is used to maintain a stable surgical corridor during anterior cervical spine procedures such as anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF), cervical corpectomy, and other anterior cervical exposures. The device provides atraumatic soft-tissue retraction and consistent exposure of the vertebral bodies and disc spaces, enabling precise work with microscopes, drills, and implants while minimizing the need for continuous manual retraction.

Design & Configuration

The side-screw locking mechanism allows incremental adjustment of blade separation with a low-profile locking point located lateral to the field. This configuration facilitates fine control of retraction tension and resists drift during instrumentation, reducing the need for readjustment. The self-retaining geometry frees an assistant from holding retractors, improving operative ergonomics and stability of the exposure in the narrow anterior cervical corridor.
