Blades only for Cloward Retractor 60x16mm

Clinical Application

These replacement blades provide localized exposure for anterior cervical spine procedures, including the Cloward technique for discectomy and fusion. The 60x16 mm footprint establishes a controlled working window through which decompression, graft placement, and instrumentation are performed, while protecting surrounding soft tissues and esophageal structures. Offered as a serviceable component for modular retractor systems, the blades enable rapid restoration of operative functionality when originals are worn or damaged.

Design & Configuration

The rectangular blade geometry delivers a flat, stable platform for atraumatic displacement of soft tissue and longus colli during anterior cervical approaches. The 60x16 mm dimension balances exposure width and blade profile depth to suit standard cervical corridors. As a blade-only replacement, it allows surgical teams to keep a selection of blade sizes on hand and replace individual components without purchasing a complete retractor, maintaining instrument modularity and inventory efficiency.
