Blades blunt for Caspar Retractor 50x23mm

Clinical Application

Blunt retractor blades for the Caspar retractor are used to maintain and protect the anterior soft-tissue corridor during cervical spine procedures such as anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) and other anterior approaches to the cervical vertebrae. The 50 x 23 mm blade provides a moderate contact surface to retract prevertebral fascia, tracheoesophageal structures and musculature while maintaining clear visualization of the disc space and vertebral bodies.

Design & Configuration

The rectangular 50 x 23 mm geometry delivers a balance between exposure and soft-tissue protection: the footprint distributes pressure to reduce point-loading on soft tissues while the blunt, atraumatic edge minimizes risk of tissue tearing during retraction. These blades are intended to mount to Caspar-style self-retaining retractor arms, allowing secure fixation and sustained exposure without continuous manual holding. The size is well suited for standard anterior cervical exposures where a controlled, moderate-width retraction is required.
