Blades for Caspar Retractor 55x37mm

Clinical Application

These blades are intended for use with a Caspar retractor system to provide focused exposure of the anterior cervical spine during procedures such as anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) and other anterior cervical approaches. The 55 x 37 mm paddle size offers a balance of wide visualization of the operative field while limiting soft-tissue retraction force on surrounding structures. Properly positioned blades maintain consistent exposure, facilitate instrumentation and graft placement, and help reduce the need for repeated manual retraction.

Design & Configuration

The paddle-style geometry provides a broad, flat contact surface to distribute retraction forces across soft tissue and musculature, reducing point pressure and tissue ischemia. The 55 x 37 mm footprint is a mid-sized option for surgeons who require more exposure than a narrow blade but prefer a lower-profile alternative to very large paddles. Blade edge geometry and low profile facilitate gentle insertion and minimize soft-tissue catching during placement and removal. The blade is manufactured to mount securely to Caspar-style retractor hardware to maintain stable retraction throughout the procedure.
