Clinical Application
Blunt retraction blades for the Caspar retractor provide atraumatic exposure of the anterior cervical spine during procedures such as anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) and cervical discectomy. The blunt profile is intended to engage and hold soft tissues and longus colli musculature away from the surgical field while minimizing focal pressure on delicate structures such as the esophagus and trachea.
Design & Configuration
The flat, low‑profile geometry with a blunt leading edge distributes retraction force across a wider surface area to reduce tissue indentation and localized trauma. The 65 x 23 mm footprint offers segmental exposure appropriate for individual cervical levels while allowing the blades to seat securely on Caspar retractor posts. This configuration supports stable, hands‑free exposure throughout dissection, decompression, and interbody work.
Instrument Specifications
