Clinical Application
Designed to provide focused medial retraction during anterior cervical spine procedures, this medial blade is intended for use with a Caspar-style anterior cervical retractor system. Its 35x23 mm footprint offers a compact retraction surface suitable for holding soft tissues and longus colli while preserving surgical corridor for discectomy, interbody work and hardware placement. The medial orientation positions the blade to protect neural structures and maintain exposure of the anterior cervical disc space.
Design & Configuration
The low-profile 35x23 mm geometry delivers a balance between contact area and minimal soft-tissue displacement, allowing secure retraction without excessive bulk in a constrained anterior neck field. As a medial blade, the configuration is optimized to attach to the inner arm of a Caspar retractor assembly and apply controlled, concentrated retraction along the midline—facilitating visualization of the disc space while minimizing interference with instrumentation.

Material & Construction
This blade is identified as titanium (TiT), providing a lightweight profile and corrosion resistance appropriate for repeated clinical use. Titanium construction reduces implant interference on imaging and offers durability for repeated reprocessing cycles. The component is manufactured and finished to integrate with Caspar-style mounting clamps and retractor arms.
Quality & Compliance
Manufactured by FDA-registered OEM facilities and produced under strict quality control standards.
Brand Comparison
Comparable in form and function to equivalent instruments offered by major US medical suppliers.
