Blades Lateral for Caspar Retractor 40x20mm

Clinical Application

This lateral blade is intended for use with Caspar-style anterior cervical retractor systems to provide controlled lateral tissue retraction during anterior cervical procedures such as anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF). The blade's footprint is sized to provide targeted lateral exposure of the disc space and vertebral body while allowing access for instruments, suction, and graft placement. When positioned against the longus coli and lateral soft tissues, the blade helps maintain a consistent operative corridor and reduces the need for manual retraction.

Design & Configuration

The lateral orientation and rectangular footprint concentrate retraction force along the lateral aspect of the cervical spine to optimize visualization of the disc space and uncovertebral region. A 40x20 mm contact surface balances coverage and low profile, facilitating instrument access through the retractor window while distributing pressure to limit focal soft-tissue compression. The blade is configured to mount to Caspar-style frames, providing secure, stable retraction throughout the procedure.
