Blade Lateral for Caspar Retractor 70x24mm

Clinical Application

Designed for use with a Caspar cervical retractor system, this lateral blade provides controlled lateral soft-tissue retraction during anterior cervical spine procedures. It is intended to create and maintain working exposure of the disc space and vertebral bodies for procedures such as anterior cervical discectomy, interbody grafting, and fusion. The blade's lateral orientation helps displace longus colli and perivertebral soft tissues away from the midline surgical corridor to improve visualization and access.

Design & Configuration

The blade's flat, lateral geometry and 70x24 mm footprint deliver a broad contact area that distributes retraction force over a wider surface to reduce focal pressure on soft tissues. The 70 mm length reaches the surgical field without excessive bulk, while the 24 mm width offers stable lateral hold. Low-profile construction minimizes obstruction in the operative field and facilitates instrument movement around the retractor frame.
