Clinical Application
These blades are intended for use with Caspar cervical retractor systems to establish and maintain surgical exposure of the anterior cervical spine. The low‑profile blade footprint provides atraumatic soft‑tissue retraction during anterior cervical discectomy, fusion, and other anterior cervical procedures, allowing visualization of disc spaces and vertebral bodies while helping to protect adjacent structures such as the esophagus and longus colli muscles.
Design & Configuration
The 65 x 37 mm blade footprint supplies a balance between surface area for tissue distribution and a compact profile for working room within the wound. A broad contact surface reduces point loading on soft tissues, while the blade geometry is optimized to seat securely in Caspar retractor forks and maintain stable exposure without excessive crowding of the operative field. Selection of blade size affects the amount of retraction and field visibility—this footprint is appropriate when moderate, evenly distributed retraction is required.
