Clinical Application
Designed to provide stable lateral soft-tissue retraction for anterior cervical approaches, this lateral blade is used with Caspar retractor assemblies to maintain a clear, hands‑free surgical corridor during anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) and related procedures. Its footprint and profile allow controlled retraction of platysma and prevertebral tissues while minimizing interference with instruments and imaging.
Design & Configuration
The lateral blade presents a broad, flat working surface that distributes retraction force across soft tissue, reducing focal pressure and tissue trauma. Its geometry is optimized for lateral retraction in the confined anterior cervical space, providing low-profile exposure that preserves access for drills, retractors, and microscopes. The 55 x 20 mm footprint balances required visualization with soft-tissue preservation.
