Blades for Caspar Retractor 70x22mm

Clinical Application

Designed for use in anterior cervical spine procedures, these blades provide focused soft-tissue retraction and vertebral exposure when used with a Caspar retractor system. The 70 x 22 mm footprint offers sufficient length to reach typical cervical operative fields while maintaining a narrow profile to minimize retraction of adjacent tissues. Surgeons commonly use this blade size for single-level anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) and other anterior approaches to the cervical spine where controlled, stable exposure is required.

Design & Configuration

The blade's geometry balances reach and slim width: the 70 mm length gives access to the anterior vertebral column, while the 22 mm width limits bulk in the wound. A low-profile, smooth surface helps distribute retraction forces over a broader area to reduce point pressure on soft tissues. The configuration is intended to secure to standard Caspar retractor arms to provide rigid, hands-free exposure and to work in concert with the distractor mechanism to maintain visualization of disc spaces and vertebral bodies.
