Cloward modif. Spreader Retractors For Cervical Spine
Its also known as Cloward Style Lamina Spreader is ideally suited for use in neurosurgical spinal procedures. This instrument is designed specifically to aid in widening the space between the lamina of the spinal column. It is effectively used in procedures such as laminectomies and other spinal surgeries that require stabilization and increase of that space. Additionally this spreader features a ratchet and is available with cross serrated tips or with teeth on tips to give the exact type of gripping strength required.
The Cloward Modified Spreader Retractors for Cervical Spine from SMS Instruments are precision-designed for controlled vertebral body distraction and lamina retraction during anterior cervical spine procedures. This updated version of the classic Cloward retractor offers enhanced ergonomic performance, improved blade grip, and optimized control for spinal decompression and stabilization surgeries.
Used primarily in anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) and cervical corpectomy, this modified spreader allows surgeons to safely open intervertebral disc spaces or separate laminae with minimal trauma to soft tissue and surrounding anatomical structures. The retractor ensures stable, symmetric retraction, improving access and visibility within the cervical operative field.
Featuring a ratcheting self-retaining mechanism, the instrument provides hands-free distraction, letting surgeons focus on precision work like graft placement, disc removal, or nerve root decompression. The modification includes reinforced blades, tapered tips, and improved spreader arms, making it compatible with various cervical anatomies and procedures.
Manufactured from CE-certified surgical-grade stainless steel, the Cloward Modified Spreader is rust-resistant, autoclavable, and engineered for repeated sterilization in demanding OR environments. Its smooth motion, secure locking, and ergonomic handle ensure user comfort and procedural reliability.
