Cervical Retractors: Precision, Visibility & Surgical Control

1. Storytelling Hook

Imagine an intricate anterior cervical discectomy—you’ve just reached the vertebral disc, but soft tissues and the trachea obscure your path. Enter the cervical retractor system—with smooth blades, firm hold, and surgeon-friendly control, it unfolds your view, turning complex anatomy into a clear surgical roadmap.

2. Core Definition & Types
