SKU:RM-CSCR-17-1

$75.00USD

The Cloward-Style Cervical Retractor is a 17 cm self-retaining hinged retractor frame engineered for anterior cervical spine exposure. Featuring an articulated frame-only chassis that adapts to neck contours and an integrated mechanical ratchet lock with finger-ring handles, it eliminates assistant strain during ACDF.

Product Description

The Cloward-Style Cervical Retractor is a foundational self-retaining surgical retractor frame engineered specifically to provide steady, hands-free soft-tissue displacement during anterior cervical spine procedures. Built with an articulated hinged architecture, this frame conforms dynamically to patient-specific neck contours, distributing retraction forces evenly while protecting delicate tracheoesophageal tissues.

Designed to eliminate manual assistant fatigue, this 17 cm Cloward-Style Cervical Retractor chassis features a hinged frame-only layout ($75) engineered to accept interchangeable cervical blades. The finger-ring handle integrates a multi-position mechanical ratchet lock assembly that holds targeted tissue tension automatically and securely, preventing accidental slipping while minimizing hand and wrist fatigue during prolonged discectomy and fusion maneuvers.

Manufactured from medical-grade surgical stainless steel with a reflection-free satin matte finish, Retractor Maker supplies the Cloward-Style Cervical Retractor non-sterile and fully autoclavable inside protective packaging, providing spine surgeons and neurosurgical teams with dependable durability, smooth ratchet action, and long-term clinical performance.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

The Cloward-Style Cervical Retractor is a solid one-piece instrument, so its performance comes from blade geometry and handle ergonomics. The working blade is specified as Accepts standard snap-in / slide-on interchangeable Cloward cervical blades, which spreads retraction force over a wider contact area and reduces point pressure on tissue. An overall length of 17 cm (approx. 6.7 inches) keeps the surgeon's hand clear of the operative field. It is made from surgical-grade stainless steel (aisi 304/420) for glare-free, corrosion-resistant service.

What is the Cloward-Style Cervical Retractor used for?

The Cloward-Style Cervical Retractor is used in anterior cervical spine surgery to mount interchangeable blades and maintain continuous, hands-free retraction of the longus colli muscles, trachea, and esophagus.

Which surgical procedures is it for?

It is indicated for single and multi-level Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion (ACDF), anterior cervical corpectomy, cervical disc replacement, and trauma plating.

What material and finish are used?

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

Is the Cloward-Style Cervical Retractor reusable and autoclavable?

Yes. The entire Cloward-Style Cervical Retractor is 100% reusable and fully validated for pre-vacuum steam autoclave cycles (134°C / 273°F). Ratchet teeth and hinge pins should be lubricated periodically.

Yes. This is a frame chassis; compatible interchangeable blunt, toothed, and multi-level cervical retractor blades can be purchased separately as open-stock inventory.

Can custom modifications or private-label markings be ordered?

Yes. Retractor Maker provides custom frame spread widths, modified arm lengths, and laser marking for hospital asset tracking upon request.
