Clinical Application
This medial blade is designed for use with a Caspar retractor system to maintain consistent medial retraction during anterior cervical spine procedures. It provides focused retraction of midline soft tissues and helps expose the disc space and vertebral body margins for discectomy, fusion, and instrumented anterior approaches. The blade’s geometry supports stable exposure while facilitating instrument access to the surgical corridor.
Design & Configuration
The medial configuration positions the blade along the wound midline to create a protected, unobstructed working channel. The 30x24 mm footprint balances contact area and profile: a sufficient surface to distribute retraction forces and reduce localized pressure on soft tissues while remaining compact enough to preserve visibility and instrument maneuverability. Titanium construction reduces instrument weight for easier handling and resists corrosion for durable repeated use.
