Clinical Application
These replacement blades are intended for use with Caspar-style cervical retractor systems to provide and maintain surgical exposure during anterior cervical spine procedures. The 60x52 mm footprint offers a moderate contact area for soft-tissue and deeper exposure, making it appropriate for many single-level anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) approaches and similar procedures where controlled, stable retraction of soft tissues and longus colli is required. Proper blade selection helps optimize visualization while minimizing focal pressure on soft tissues and neurovascular structures.
Design & Configuration
The rectangular 60x52 mm geometry provides an even retraction surface to distribute compression across the retracted field. A flat, low-profile blade reduces obstruction to the operative corridor while maximizing working space for instrumentation and visualization. The blade includes an attachment interface engineered to engage Caspar-style frame posts securely, minimizing slippage and facilitating atraumatic retraction when used with standard Caspar retractor arms.
Instrument Specifications
