Clinical Application
Provides focused medial retraction and exposure in anterior cervical spine procedures, including anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF). The narrow medial profile is intended to maintain access to the surgical disc space while protecting adjacent soft tissue and neural structures during distraction and discectomy.
Design & Configuration
The medial blade geometry offers a low-profile footprint that concentrates retraction where required along the midline of the wound. The 60 x 23 mm blade dimension gives a balance between surface area for soft-tissue retraction and a slim profile to minimize obstruction of the operative corridor. The blade is configured to mount directly to Caspar-style retractor frames, allowing stable distraction and sustained exposure during instrumentation and graft placement.
Instrument Specifications
- Instrument type: Medial blade for Caspar retractor
- Pattern / model: Caspar retractor — medial blade
- Configuration: Single medial-oriented blade for direct mounting
- Size: 60 x 23 mm
- Typical use: Anterior cervical spine exposure (e.g., ACDF)
- Material: Titanium (TiT) indicated
- Reusable: Yes
Material & Construction
The blade is indicated as titanium construction (TiT), providing a lightweight, corrosion‑resistant profile suitable for repeated sterilization and clinical use. Titanium construction reduces instrument weight while maintaining the rigidity needed for reliable retraction and distraction when mounted to a Caspar retractor system.
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.
