Blade Medial for Caspar Retractor 50x24mm (TiT)

Clinical Application

This medial retractor blade is intended for use with a Caspar cervical retractor system to establish and maintain midline exposure during anterior cervical spine procedures such as anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) and other anterior approaches to the cervical vertebrae. The medial blade supports soft-tissue and airway retraction against the vertebral bodies and disc spaces, allowing simultaneous visualization and instrumentation of the disc and endplates while minimizing the need for hand-held retraction.

Design & Configuration

The flat, rectangular medial profile provides a broad contact surface that distributes retraction force over a larger area, reducing focal pressure on soft tissues and mucosa. The 50x24 mm footprint balances surface area and low profile, permitting deep exposure without excessive bulk in the operative field. The configuration is intended to mount to Caspar-style blade posts, enabling secure fixation and controlled elevator-style retraction during instrumented fusion or discectomy workflows.
