Clinical Application
Designed to provide stable soft-tissue and retraction exposure during anterior cervical spine procedures. These blades mount to a Caspar-style cervical retractor to maintain a clear working corridor for discectomy, anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF), corpectomy, and other anterior cervical approaches. The 45 x 37 mm contact footprint balances surface area and access, helping to protect soft tissues while allowing direct visualization and instrument access to the operative disc space and vertebral bodies.
Design & Configuration
The rectangular 45 x 37 mm configuration delivers a broad, low-profile contact area that distributes retraction forces across soft tissues to reduce focal pressure and trauma. The flat footprint and consistent geometry help orient the surgical field and maintain predictable tissue displacement when attached to the Caspar retractor arms. Choosing the appropriate blade size supports better visualization and instrument maneuverability in the cervical corridor while minimizing the need for repeated adjustments during the case.
Instrument Specifications
- Instrument type: Exposure blade for Caspar cervical retractor systems
- Footprint: 45 x 37 mm
- Intended use: Anterior cervical exposure for ACDF, discectomy, corpectomy
- Construction: surgical stainless steel; reusable
Material & Construction
Manufactured from surgical-grade stainless steel with a precision-machined finish for reliable seating and easy cleaning. The durable construction is intended for repeated use and standard hospital reprocessing, including autoclave sterilization. Surface finishes minimize tissue adhesion and facilitate decontamination between cases.
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.
