Blades for Caspar Retractor 55x22mm

Clinical Application

These blades are designed to provide fixed retraction of soft tissues during anterior cervical spine procedures including anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF), discectomy and anterior exposure of vertebral bodies. The 55 x 22 mm footprint offers a balance of working width and limited depth to expose disc spaces and vertebral endplates while minimizing encroachment on surrounding soft tissue. Used as part of a Caspar retractor assembly, the blade maintains consistent exposure so the surgeon can operate with both hands free and with minimal need for manual retraction.

Design & Configuration

The flat, rectangular geometry and standardized mounting interface deliver a stable platform for anterior cervical exposure. Blade width and length determine the visual and working corridor: a 55 x 22 mm blade provides sufficient lateral exposure for single-level procedures while limiting intrusion into the wound. A precision fit to the retractor arm reduces slippage and helps distribute retraction forces evenly across the tissue to reduce focal pressure.
