Caspar Retractor w/out blades

Clinical Application

Provides stable, hands‑free anterior cervical exposure when used as part of a Caspar retraction assembly. The frame secures soft‑tissue and deep dissection planes to maintain an unobstructed corridor to the cervical disc space and vertebral bodies during anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF), disc replacement, or anterior plating procedures. Supplied without blades so it can be paired with the procedure‑specific blade profiles and sizes selected by the surgical team.

Design & Configuration

The open frame design centers on a rigid crossbar and adjustable spread mechanism to establish and maintain retraction once the working corridor is established. Because the unit is supplied without blades, it supports modular configuration — teams can attach compatible Caspar‑style blades or fixation posts appropriate for level, soft tissue thickness, and surgeon preference. The frame-only configuration reduces instrument bulk on tables and facilitates replacement of worn or lost blades without purchasing a complete set.
