Product Overview
The Caspar Cervical Distractor is a specialized rack-and-pinion instrument used to separate adjacent vertebrae during Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion (ACDF). The Right-Sided orientation refers to the placement of the distraction bar and the direction of the tightening mechanism, designed to accommodate the surgeon’s preference or a right-sided approach to the neck. Forged from high-tensile surgical steel, it provides the mechanical authority to maintain a “liquid-smooth” and stationary operative window under significant tension.
Key Features
-
“Beast-Force” Rack and Pinion: Features a precision-milled geared bar that allows for controlled, incremental distraction. The mechanism ensures that once the desired disc height is achieved, it remains in a “dead-lock” position without slippage.
-
Right-Oriented Configuration: Specifically designed with the distraction mechanism on the right side. This allows for optimal clearance and visibility based on the patient’s positioning and the surgeon’s entry point, ensuring the “beast” does not obstruct secondary instrumentation.
-
Deep-Seat Distraction Pin Sleeves: The arms are equipped with high-stability sleeves designed to fit over standard Caspar distraction pins. This ensures that the force is applied directly to the vertebral bodies, maintaining parallel distraction and preventing angular tilt.
-
High-Tactile Adjustment Knob: Equipped with an ergonomic, textured thumb-screw or knob. This provides the clinician with fine-tuned mechanical authority, allowing for “liquid-smooth” expansion that respects the integrity of the vertebral endplates.
-
Surgical-Grade Resilience: Manufactured from premium, hardened stainless steel. It is built to withstand high-tension loads and thousands of high-heat sterilization cycles without losing gear precision or structural alignment.
