Clinical Application
This frame provides the structural backbone for a Caspar retraction system used to gain and maintain a clear surgical corridor during anterior cervical spine procedures such as anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) and other anterior neck approaches. When fitted with the appropriate Caspar-style blades, the frame secures blades in stable positions to retract soft tissues, protect neurovascular structures, and maintain exposure throughout disc removal, graft placement, and instrumentation.
Design & Configuration
As a frame-only component, the 15 cm configuration offers a balance of reach and rigidity appropriate for typical cervical anatomy. The open-frame geometry provides a unobstructed operative window while accepting interchangeable blades, allowing the surgeon to select blade length and angle to match patient anatomy and procedural needs. A rigid frame minimizes flex under load, preserving exposure and reducing the need for constant manual retraction.
Instrument Specifications
- Instrument type: Retractor frame (Caspar system)
- Pattern / model: Caspar Retractor
- Configuration: Frame only — blades sold separately
- Length / size: 15 cm
- Typical surgical use: Anterior cervical spine exposure (ACDF) and related anterior neck procedures
- Material / construction: Surgical-grade stainless steel

Material & Construction
Constructed from surgical-grade, corrosion-resistant stainless steel and precision-machined for consistent blade seating and frame stability. The finish is suitable for routine hospital sterilization processes and repeated use. As a frame-only unit, it is engineered to accept standard Caspar-style blades and to withstand the mechanical demands of retraction during spine procedures.
Quality & Compliance
Manufactured by FDA-registered OEM facilities and produced under strict quality control standards.
Brand Comparison
Comparable in form and function to equivalent instruments offered by major US medical suppliers.
