Clinical Application
Used to establish and maintain the midline working window in anterior cervical spine procedures. The medial blade is mounted to a Caspar retractor frame and paired with a lateral blade to provide stable, atraumatic exposure of vertebral bodies and disc spaces during anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF), interbody work, and related anterior cervical approaches. Its footprint is sized to deliver focal retraction while allowing surgical access for microsurgical and instrumentation tasks.
Design & Configuration
The medial orientation concentrates contact along the central vertebral column to stabilize and maintain alignment of the operative field. A compact 30x24 mm blade footprint balances exposure with soft-tissue protection, reducing unnecessary compression of surrounding structures while preserving a working corridor for instrumentation and visualization. The blade is configured to interface directly with standard Caspar retractor posts for secure fixation and incremental adjustment of distraction and retraction depth.
Instrument Specifications
- Instrument type: Medial blade for Caspar retractor system
- Footprint size: 30x24 mm
- Intended procedures: Anterior cervical spine exposure (e.g., ACDF)
- Compatibility: Designed for use with Caspar-style retractor frames and posts
- Construction: Surgical-grade stainless steel; reusable
Material & Construction
Manufactured from surgical-grade stainless steel to withstand repeated cleaning, sterilization, and clinical use. The design emphasizes a low-profile, rigid blade geometry for reliable seating against vertebral surfaces and long-term dimensional stability. Reusable construction supports instrument sets configured for routine spine procedures.
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.
