Clinical Application
Designed for use with Caspar cervical retractor systems, this blunt blade provides atraumatic retraction of soft tissues during anterior cervical spine procedures such as discectomy and fusion (ACDF). The 55x24 mm blade footprint supplies a broad contact area to distribute pressure across the prevertebral soft tissues and expose the operative disc space while minimizing focal tissue compression.
Design & Configuration
The flat blade profile with a blunt, rounded leading edge reduces the risk of tissue laceration when engaged in the surgical field. The rectangular 55x24 mm geometry gives a predictable contact surface that stabilizes soft-tissue flaps and helps maintain a consistent working corridor once secured in the Caspar frame. The blade is configured to seat in the system's blade holders, providing rigid retraction with low profile and controlled tissue spread.
