Product Description

The Cloward Cervical Retractor is a specialized surgical instrument commonly used in anterior cervical spine surgeries, particularly for the Cloward technique or anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) procedures. It is named after its inventor, Dr. Robert H. Cloward, an American neurosurgeon known for his contributions to spinal surgery.

The Cloward Cervical Retractor is designed to gently hold back the soft tissues of the neck, including muscles, tendons, and blood vessels, to provide a clear and unobstructed view of the cervical spine during surgery. This allows the surgeon to access the affected cervical discs, remove damaged or herniated discs, and perform the fusion process effectively.

Key features of the Cloward Cervical Retractor:

Double Joint Design: The Cloward Cervical Retractor typically has a double-joint design, which allows the surgeon to adjust the angle and position of the retractor arms as needed during the surgery.

Blades or Hooks: The retractor arms are equipped with blades or hooks at their tips. These blades gently hook onto the vertebral bodies to hold them apart, creating space for the surgeon to work.

Self-Retaining: The Cloward Retractor is usually self-retaining, meaning it can maintain its position without the need for an assistant to hold it during the procedure. This enables the surgical team to have a clear and stable field of view.

Radiolucent Material: The retractor is typically made of radiolucent materials, allowing X-rays or fluoroscopy to be used during surgery for real-time imaging.

The Cloward Cervical Retractor is an essential tool in ACDF surgeries, which are commonly performed to treat cervical disc herniations, degenerative disc disease, and other cervical spine conditions. It helps to minimize tissue trauma and provides the surgeon with better visualization and access to the surgical site.
