Clinical Application
Designed to provide sustained exposure of soft tissues and anterior cervical structures, this 45 mm blade is used with Caspar-style cervical retractor systems during procedures such as anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF), corpectomy, and other anterior cervical approaches. The blade’s width supports broader visualization of the surgical field and helps maintain atraumatic retraction of platysma, longus colli, and superficial soft tissues while the surgeon works on the disc space and vertebral bodies.
Design & Configuration
The blade’s flat geometry and 45 mm working width are intended to distribute retraction pressure across a larger surface area, reducing focal tissue stress and improving exposure compared with narrower blades. An attachment interface compatible with Caspar retractor frames allows secure locking to the retractor posts or arms, keeping the operative corridor stable and hands-free. Smooth, radiused edges minimize soft‑tissue trauma while maintaining a consistent plane for instrumentation and visualization.
