Blades Lateral for Caspar Retractor 60x23mm

Clinical Application

This lateral blade is designed for use with Caspar cervical retractor systems to provide consistent lateral retraction of soft tissues during anterior cervical spine procedures. Its footprint is intended to retract platysma, longus colli and other soft-tissue planes to expose vertebral bodies and disc spaces for discectomy, fusion, plating or implant placement. The blade is used in pairs or combination with other Caspar blades to create and maintain a working corridor while allowing unobstructed access for microsurgical and instrumentation tasks.

Design & Configuration

The lateral geometry provides a broad contact surface to distribute retraction force and reduce focal pressure on soft tissues. The 60 x 23 mm footprint balances exposure area with minimal overhang, making it suitable for typical anterior cervical levels. The profile is shaped to sit alongside the surgical field when mounted to a Caspar frame, maintaining a predictable working corridor and improving visualization for the surgeon while minimizing the need for frequent repositioning.
