Blades Lateral for Caspar Retractor 40x23mm (TiT)

Clinical Application

Designed for use with a Caspar cervical retractor system to provide controlled lateral retraction during anterior cervical spine procedures such as anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) and cervical corpectomy. The lateral blade creates a stable, atraumatic contact surface to hold soft tissues and longus colli aside, preserving the operative corridor and improving visualization of the disc space and vertebral bodies.

Design & Configuration

The lateral orientation and rectangular contact footprint are intended to distribute retraction forces across a broader area of soft tissue, reducing focal pressure and the risk of tissue injury. The specified 40x23 mm working surface balances sufficient retraction coverage with a low-profile geometry to minimize obstruction in the surgical field. The blade is configured to mount to standard Caspar-style retractor frames and provide rigid, stable lateral hold during instrumentation and graft placement.
