Caspar Retractor without blades

Clinical Application

Provides stable, hands‑free exposure for anterior cervical procedures where controlled retraction and maintenance of the surgical corridor are required. Commonly used in anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF), anterior cervical corpectomy and fusion, and other anterior approaches to the cervical spine. By securing soft tissues and maintaining retraction, the frame reduces the need for manual retraction and improves access for microsurgical techniques and instrumentation placement.

Design & Configuration

The open frame design allows adjustable, self‑retaining retraction and integrates with blade attachments to tailor exposure to patient anatomy and procedure needs. The absence of blades on this item gives teams flexibility to select blade length, curvature, and tooth pattern appropriate for the case. A low‑profile frame preserves working space around the incision and minimizes interference with operative microscopes and fluoroscopic imaging.
