Blades Lateral for Caspar Retractor 45x23mm

Clinical Application

Designed for use during anterior cervical procedures, this lateral blade provides targeted soft-tissue retraction during anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF), corpectomy, and other anterior cervical exposures. It stabilizes and maintains lateral retraction of the longus colli and adjacent soft tissues to optimize visualization of the anterior vertebral bodies and disc spaces while helping to protect neurovascular structures.

Design & Configuration

The lateral orientation and low-profile rectangular footprint concentrate retraction force over a controlled area (45 x 23 mm) to create reliable exposure with minimal soft-tissue compression. A flat, atraumatic contact surface reduces tissue pinching and enables consistent exposure when mounted to the Caspar cervical retractor frame. The blade geometry is chosen to balance broad retraction with a compact profile appropriate for narrow anterior cervical corridors.
