Blades for Caspar Retractor 50x22mm

Clinical Application

These blades are intended for use with Caspar-style cervical retractor systems to provide stable, atraumatic soft-tissue and cervical vertebral body retraction during anterior cervical spine procedures. The 50 x 22 mm footprint offers a balance of surface area and profile suitable for exposing one or two cervical levels during anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF), corpectomy, and other anterior approaches to the cervical spine. The blade helps maintain consistent exposure for instrumentation, interbody work, and hemostasis while minimizing focal pressure on soft tissues.

Design & Configuration

The rectangular footplate geometry provides a broad contact area to distribute retraction forces evenly over the prevertebral tissues and vertebral bodies. A low-profile blade dimension reduces obstruction of the surgical corridor and improves line-of-sight for microscopic or loupe-assisted work. The blade is designed to mount to standard Caspar-style posts and arms, allowing incremental adjustment of retraction depth and angle to optimize exposure without repeated soft-tissue manipulation.

Instrument Specifications

• Pattern: Caspar retractor blade (rectangular footplate)
• Footprint size: 50 x 22 mm
• Intended use: anterior cervical spine retraction (ACDF, discectomy, corpectomy)
• Construction: precision-machined, smooth-edged blade profile
• Reusable: designed for repeated use and sterilization

Material & Construction

Manufactured from medical-grade stainless steel with a finely machined and polished surface to minimize tissue adherence and facilitate cleaning. The smooth, rounded edges of the footplate reduce focal tissue pressure and trauma. Constructed for reprocessing in standard sterilization workflows used by hospitals and ASC facilities.

Quality & Compliance

Manufactured by FDA-registered OEM facilities and produced under strict quality control standards.

Brand Comparison

Comparable in form and function to equivalent instruments offered by major US medical suppliers.
