Caspar Nerve Root Retractor 8mm, 24cm

Clinical Application

This instrument is designed to provide controlled, atraumatic retraction of nerve roots and thecal sac during spinal procedures. It is commonly used in lumbar and cervical microdiscectomy, laminectomy, foraminotomy, and other decompression procedures where precise retraction in a confined canal is required. The narrow 8 mm blade allows targeted manipulation around neural structures while maintaining visualization of the surgical field.

Design & Configuration

The narrow 8 mm working tip concentrates retraction force on a small footprint, enabling precise separation of neural tissue from disc material or bone without broad compression. The 24 cm overall length provides reach into deeper operative corridors while keeping the surgeon's hand outside the immediate field. A flat, atraumatic blade profile distributes contact pressure to minimize focal tissue injury and facilitate gentle mobilization of nerve roots.
