Clinical Application
Blunt retraction blades for the Caspar retractor provide atraumatic exposure of anterior cervical soft tissues and the operative disc space during procedures such as anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) and other anterior cervical approaches. The blade’s flat profile and blunt leading edge distribute retraction pressure across a wider surface to reduce focal tissue compression while maintaining a clear surgical corridor for visualization, instrumentation, and implant placement.
Design & Configuration
The 70 x 24 mm rectangular geometry offers a balance between working surface area and access in the anterior cervical field. A blunt edge minimizes risk of cutting or scoring delicate soft tissues and the broader footprint helps stabilize soft-tissue paddles under sustained distraction. The shape and dimensions are selected to provide predictable engagement with typical Caspar retractor carriers while allowing the surgeon to tailor blade selection to patient anatomy and incision size.
Instrument Specifications
- Blade dimensions: 70 x 24 mm
- Edge type: blunt (atraumatic)
- Intended system: compatible with Caspar retractor systems
- Primary use: anterior cervical soft-tissue retraction and exposure
- Construction: surgical-grade stainless steel, reusable
Material & Construction
Manufactured from surgical-grade stainless steel to provide the rigidity required for sustained retraction while resisting corrosion during repeated sterilization cycles. Reusable construction supports standard hospital reprocessing workflows and is sized to give a stable, low-profile retraction surface in the anterior cervical space.
Quality & Compliance
Manufactured by FDA-registered OEM facilities and produced under strict quality control standards.
Brand Comparison
Comparable in form and function to equivalent instruments offered by major US medical suppliers.
