Clinical Application
Blunt blades for the Caspar retractor are intended to provide atraumatic soft-tissue retraction and sustained exposure during anterior cervical spine procedures, including anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) and other anterior approaches to the cervical vertebrae. The blunt edge minimizes focal pressure on soft tissues and neurovascular structures while maintaining a stable working corridor for the surgeon and assistant.
Design & Configuration
The rectangular 65x20 mm footprint offers a low-profile blade with sufficient surface area to distribute retraction forces across soft tissue. The flat, blunt geometry reduces the risk of tissue penetration and allows controlled retraction when used bilaterally with the Caspar spreader. The blade dimensions balance reach and visibility in the operative field while keeping the retractor profile compact to facilitate instrument access.
