Laminectomy Distractors
The Caspar system holds the vertebrae apart during anterior cervical spine surgery, giving the surgeon space to remove a disc and place a graft or implant. Medfort makes the Caspar distractor and its drill guides, drills and screws (codes SI-030501 to SI-030508).
Where they are used
They are used in anterior cervical discectomy and fusion, cervical corpectomy, and other cervical spine procedures.
Our range
- Caspar vertebral distractor: left and right
- Caspar drill guides and twist drill
- Caspar distraction screws and screw driver
Material and finish
Orthopedic and bone instruments are made from hardened surgical grade stainless steel, so they keep their edge and their shape under heavy force. Compound action patterns multiply hand pressure for easier cutting. Tungsten carbide (TC) inserts are used on selected cutters and pliers for a longer working life. Handles are shaped for a firm, comfortable grip, even with wet gloves, and the satin finish reduces glare under theatre lights.
How to choose
Distraction screws are placed in the vertebral bodies above and below the level being treated, and the distractor is fitted over them to open the space. Choose left or right distractors to suit the surgeon's position, and order screws in the lengths your team uses.
Quality control
Every bone instrument is checked for hardness after heat treatment. Cutting edges are test-cut, jaws are checked for alignment, and springs and joints are tested for smooth action. Finished instruments are passivated, cleaned and packed.
Sharpening and repair
Cutting instruments such as osteotomes, chisels, rasps and rongeurs lose their edge with use, and a blunt edge needs more force and gives a less precise cut. We can resharpen and recondition Medfort bone instruments, and we can also advise on how often to service them. Keeping a spare of your most-used patterns means one can be sent for sharpening while the other stays in use.
Care and sterilization
Remove all bone fragments and tissue straight after use, especially from jaws, teeth and joints. Clean, dry and lubricate moving parts. All instruments are suitable for standard steam sterilization. Check cutting edges regularly and send them for sharpening when needed.
