Blades Lateral for Caspar Retractor 50x23mm

Clinical Application

This lateral blade is intended for use with a Caspar cervical retractor system to provide focused lateral retraction during anterior cervical approaches, including anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF). When used in pairs or alongside medial blades, the lateral blade helps establish and maintain a stable working corridor while minimizing soft-tissue encroachment into the operative field. The blade geometry supports atraumatic retraction of paraspinal soft tissue, neurovascular structures, and viscera during exposure of cervical vertebral bodies and disc spaces.

Design & Configuration

The rectangular, low-profile lateral configuration is designed to seat against soft tissue with a broad contact surface while limiting vertical bulk within the operative corridor. The 50 x 23 mm footprint provides a balance between surface area for even force distribution and a compact profile to preserve surgeon access and line-of-sight. The blade is intended to attach to standard Caspar retractor arms, allowing stable fixation and predictable orientation for bilateral or unilateral retraction strategies.
