Clinical Application
Blades sized 60x22 mm are used as replacement or spare blades for Caspar retractors during anterior cervical spine procedures. They provide focused soft-tissue retraction of the platysma and prevertebral tissues to expose the cervical disc space and vertebral bodies for procedures such as anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF), cervical corpectomy, and related anterior approaches. The 60x22 mm footprint is intended to balance working exposure with minimized soft-tissue compression for moderate-length exposures.
Design & Configuration
These blades feature a low-profile, rectangular blade geometry sized to mate with Caspar-style blade mounts. The dimension set (60x22 mm) delivers a controlled retraction surface area that helps maintain a clear surgical corridor while limiting the amount of tissue held under tension. The mounting interface is shaped to secure the blade to the retractor frame and resist lateral displacement during device adjustment, enabling stable, hands-free retraction once positioned.
