Clinical Application
Designed to provide stable, hands-free exposure of the anterior cervical spine during procedures such as anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF), anterior cervical corpectomy, and other anterior neck approaches. The multi-blade configuration allows surgeons to maintain a broad, controlled window to vertebral bodies and disc spaces while freeing assistants’ hands for instrumentation and hemostasis.
Design & Configuration
The Caspar-style self-retaining frame accepts interchangeable blades and locks in position to maintain consistent retraction throughout a procedure. A five-blade set with blunt tips distributes load over a larger contact area to reduce focal pressure on soft tissues and minimize the risk of inadvertent tissue injury. The blade dimensions (90x150 mm) provide substantial surface area for deep exposure when operating across multiple cervical levels.
