Caspar Vertebral Column Retractor w/5 blades

Clinical Application

Provides sustained, hands-free retraction for open spinal procedures where uninterrupted exposure of vertebral anatomy is required. The five-blade configuration supports exposure of posterior and posterolateral elements and creates a central working corridor for decompression, interbody work, hardware placement, and other spinal interventions. It is intended for use in operating rooms, ambulatory surgery centers, and spine specialty suites where consistent visualization and access to vertebral structures are critical.

Design & Configuration

The multi-blade frame concentrates retraction across multiple contact points to distribute force evenly on soft tissues and reduce focal pressure. A five-blade layout enables broader, circumferential exposure compared with single- or two-blade retractors, helping to maintain a stable operative field and minimizing the need for multiple handheld retractors. The open central corridor formed by the blades improves line-of-sight for microscopic or microscopic-assisted procedures and facilitates instrument passage for discectomy, laminectomy, and implant placement.
