The Cloward-Style Blade Retractor is a specialized handheld cervical spine instrument designed for longus colli muscle and soft-tissue retraction during ACDF procedures. Featuring a 19 cm reach with blade widths from 13 mm to 23 mm (75 mm depth) in lipped or non-lipped tip designs, it ensures safe visceral protection.

Product Description

The Cloward-Style Blade Retractor is an indispensable handheld spinal surgical retractor engineered specifically to provide secure, non-traumatic exposure of the anterior cervical spine during disc and fusion interventions. Designed to gently retract the longus colli muscles and displace the esophagus and carotid sheath laterally, this instrument establishes a safe visual corridor to the intervertebral disc spaces.

Built for variable patient depths, this Cloward-Style Blade Retractor configuration features a uniform 19 cm overall chassis length paired with four selectable blade widths across a fixed 75 mm depth: 13 mm ($84), 18 mm ($89), 20 mm ($94), and 23 mm ($99). Surgeons can choose between a With Lip configuration designed to prevent muscle creep over the blade margin, or a Without Lip design for smooth, low-profile insertion in confined tissue planes. Its ergonomic flat handle provides steady, fatigue-free manual leverage.

Forged from medical-grade surgical stainless steel with a reflection-free satin matte finish, Retractor Maker manufactures the Cloward-Style Blade Retractor to strict clinical tolerances, ensuring high corrosion resistance, unyielding structural rigidity, and complete autoclave durability for hospital operating theaters worldwide.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the blade and handle design advantages of the Cloward-Style Blade Retractor?

The Cloward-Style Blade Retractor is a solid one-piece instrument, so its performance comes from blade geometry and handle ergonomics. The working blade is specified as 13 × 75 mm ($84.00), 18 × 75 mm ($89.00), 20 × 75 mm ($94.00), 23 × 75 mm ($99.00), which spreads retraction force over a wider contact area and reduces point pressure on tissue. The handle is flat ergonomic handle with lateral serrations for tactile grip stability, giving a secure, fatigue-resistant grip through long exposures. An overall length of 19 cm (approx. 7.5 inches) keeps the surgeon's hand clear of the operative field. It is made from surgical-grade stainless steel (aisi 304/410) for glare-free, corrosion-resistant service.

What is the Cloward-Style Blade Retractor used for?

Which surgical procedures is it for?

It is indicated for Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion (ACDF), anterior cervical corpectomy, cervical disc arthroplasty, and anterior trauma plating.

What material and finish are used?

The instrument is forged from high-tensile surgical stainless steel with an anti-glare satin matte finish that suppresses optical reflections under surgical operating lights and microscopes.
