Blade Medial for Caspar Retractor 55x24mm (TiT)

Clinical Application

This medial retractor blade is designed for use with Caspar retractor systems to provide controlled, atraumatic retraction of anterior cervical soft tissues during anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF), corpectomy, and related anterior cervical procedures. Positioned on the medial arm, the blade establishes and maintains the operative corridor to the vertebral bodies while allowing access for discectomy, endplate preparation and instrumentation placement.

Design & Configuration

The blade's low-profile, rectangular footprint (55x24 mm) provides a broad contact surface to distribute retraction forces while minimizing bulk within the operative field. The medial orientation helps centralize retraction toward the midline, improving exposure of vertebral bodies and disc spaces. The slim profile reduces interference with microscope and fluoroscopic imaging and permits unobstructed instrument access along the retractor arms.
