Blades Medial for Caspar Retractor 50x23mm (TiT)

Clinical Application

Medial blades for the Caspar cervical retractor are used to obtain and maintain a controlled exposure of the anterior cervical spine during procedures such as anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) and other anterior cervical approaches. The medial blade engages the midline surface adjacent to the disc or vertebral body to provide stable retraction and assist in distraction while minimizing direct pressure on surrounding soft tissues (trachea, esophagus, and neurovascular structures).

Design & Configuration

The medial blade is sized to provide a defined contact footprint (50x23 mm) that balances exposure with a low profile in the surgical corridor. Its geometry is intended to mate securely with Caspar-style retractor arms, providing axial stability during distraction and instrumentation. A contoured, low-profile face helps distribute pressure across the bone surface while reducing soft-tissue impingement; the medial orientation positions the blade along the midline for direct visualization of the disc space and vertebral endplates. Blades are used in combination with lateral blades and fixation pins to create a stable operative field.

Instrument Specifications

• Instrument type: Medial blade for Caspar cervical retractor
• Pattern / model: Caspar retractor — medial blade
• Configuration: Medial blade configured for mounting to Caspar retractor systems
• Size: 50x23 mm
• Typical surgical use: Anterior cervical spine exposure (e.g., ACDF)
• Material / construction: Titanium (TiT)
• Reusable: Designed for routine sterilization and reprocessing

Material & Construction

Constructed from titanium as indicated (TiT), the blade combines strength with reduced weight to minimize instrument bulk in the operative field. Titanium construction offers good corrosion resistance and durability for repeated use. The mounting interface is manufactured to precise tolerances to ensure repeatable, secure fixation to Caspar retractor arms. The instrument is designed for reprocessing in standard hospital sterilization workflows.

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.
