Clinical Application
Designed for anterior cervical spine approaches, this blade provides a stable retraction surface to maintain a working corridor during procedures such as anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) and related exposures. The 45x52 mm footprint offers a moderate field of exposure suitable for single-level cervical procedures, helping maintain soft-tissue retraction and visualization while freeing an assistant's hands for instrumentation.
Design & Configuration
The blade is a single replacement component intended to mount to a Caspar-style retractor frame. Its rectangular footprint balances tissue displacement and operative exposure—a size intended to offer sufficient access without excessive soft-tissue tension. The blade's attachment geometry ensures secure fixation to the retractor frame so the surgical corridor remains consistent throughout the procedure.
Instrument Specifications
