Description

The Cloward Cervical Spreader is a specialized spinal instrument designed to provide controlled distraction of cervical vertebral bodies during anterior cervical procedures. It is commonly used during cervical discectomy, decompression, fusion, and reconstructive spine surgery to improve access to the disc space and facilitate surgical visualization. By maintaining vertebral separation, the spreader assists surgeons during disc removal, endplate preparation, and implant placement.

The instrument features slender distraction blades designed for secure insertion into the cervical disc space while minimizing trauma to adjacent structures. Its 50 mm working depth provides reliable access to the operative site, while the ratcheted mechanism enables controlled and progressive distraction. The instrument is capable of achieving a maximum opening of 20 mm, allowing surgeons to create adequate working space for a variety of cervical procedures.

With an overall length of 17 cm (6¾”), the Cloward Cervical Spreader offers an excellent balance of reach, control, and maneuverability. The ergonomic scissor-style handle design provides comfortable operation and allows precise adjustment of distraction force throughout the procedure. Its stable construction helps maintain consistent vertebral separation while supporting efficient surgical workflow.

Manufactured from premium surgical-grade stainless steel, every Cloward Cervical Spreader undergoes rigorous quality control inspection to ensure durability, corrosion resistance, and dependable long-term performance. Its controlled distraction capability, ergonomic handling characteristics, and proven surgical design make it a valuable instrument for cervical spine surgery.
