Blades only for Cloward Retractor 60x16mm

Clinical Application

These replacement blades are intended for use with Cloward-style cervical retractors to provide atraumatic, stable exposure of the anterior cervical spine. They are used to retract soft tissues (skin, platysma, strap muscles, trachea/esophagus) and maintain an open surgical field during procedures such as anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF), disc removal, corpectomy, and related anterior cervical approaches.

Design & Configuration

The 60 x 16 mm blade profile offers a low-profile, rectangular working surface that balances exposure width with minimal soft-tissue compression. The smooth, contoured face helps distribute retraction forces to reduce focal pressure on delicate structures while the slim edge facilitates insertion and repositioning in the prevertebral space. These blades are supplied as replacement components to attach to the Cloward retractor frame; proper engagement of the blade-to-frame interface is essential for secure, self-retaining retraction.
