Clinical Application
Blunt retractor blades sized 40 x 24 mm provide focused, low-profile soft-tissue retraction for anterior cervical approaches. They are used to maintain a clear working corridor to the vertebral bodies and disc spaces during procedures such as anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) and other anterior cervical exposures. The blunt, atraumatic contact surface reduces focal pressure on fascia and soft tissues while permitting stable exposure for microscopic or open techniques.
Design & Configuration
The rectangular 40 x 24 mm footprint offers a narrow, controlled retraction surface suitable for small-to-moderate surgical corridors. A blunt tip and smooth edges distribute contact forces to minimize tissue shear and reduce the risk of focal ischemia. The geometry and mounting interface are optimized for attachment to a Caspar-style self-retaining retractor frame to provide stable, hands-free exposure, improving operating field visualization and instrument access.
Instrument Specifications
- Instrument type: Blunt blades for Caspar retractor
- Pattern/model: 40 x 24 mm blade
- Configuration: Blunt, atraumatic contact surface
- Typical surgical use: Anterior cervical spine exposure (ACDF)
- Material: Titanium (TiT)
- Reusable surgical instrument
Material & Construction
Constructed in titanium (TiT) to provide a high strength-to-weight ratio and corrosion resistance appropriate for repeated clinical use. The smooth, blunt blade surface is finished to minimize tissue adhesion and facilitate cleaning and sterilization between procedures. Designed for reuse with standard sterilization protocols used for reusable surgical instruments.
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.
