Blades only for Cloward Retractor 50x16mm

Clinical Application

These replacement blades are intended for use with Cloward-style cervical retractors to provide soft-tissue retraction and sustained exposure of the anterior cervical spine. The blades are used during anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) and other anterior cervical procedures to maintain a clear operative corridor for visualization, discectomy, decompression, graft placement and instrumentation.

Design & Configuration

The 50x16 mm footprint offers a compact profile suitable for typical cervical disc spaces, providing balanced width and projection to gently retract soft tissue while minimizing encroachment on the surgical field. As a replacement blade assembly (sold without frame), it is shaped to interface with Cloward-style retractor mounts and to hold consistent exposure when secured in the retractor frame. The contour and edge geometry are intended to distribute retraction forces and reduce focal pressure on soft tissues.
