Caspar Retractor 65mm side screw

Clinical Application

Designed for anterior cervical spine procedures, the instrument provides sustained retraction and controlled distraction of adjacent vertebral bodies to facilitate discectomy, endplate preparation, and interbody graft or implant placement. The side-screw distractor allows surgeons to maintain a stable working corridor while performing microsurgical decompression and fusion steps.

Design & Configuration

The side-screw configuration places the adjustment mechanism to one side of the retractor frame, minimizing obstruction of the central operative field and improving access for instrumentation and visualization. The screw mechanism enables incremental, controlled distraction and stable maintenance of the desired intervertebral height during the procedure. The 65 mm specification denotes the instrument configuration intended to accommodate typical anterior cervical exposure requirements.
