Clinical Application
These 40 x 20 mm blades are intended for use with Caspar retractor systems to provide focused soft-tissue retraction during anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) and other anterior neck or small-field spinal procedures. The compact contact surface delivers controlled exposure in narrow surgical corridors, helping to minimize soft-tissue displacement while maintaining an unobstructed working corridor for microscopes, endoscopes, and standard spinal instrumentation.
Design & Configuration
The flat, rectangular 40 x 20 mm profile offers a low-profile contact surface that reduces tissue bulk in the operative field. This geometry is clinically useful when space is limited—such as in small adult or pediatric anatomy—or when precise, localized retraction is required. Blades of this size are typically used in matched pairs to create a stable, rectangular exposure and to distribute retraction forces evenly across the incision site.
