* The kit must have anatomically contoured blades to evenly distribute tissue pressure.
* The kit must have independent blade control to allow customized medial-lateral and cranial-caudal retraction.
* The kit must have pre-adjusted frictions joint to provide consistent resistance without requiring tightening screws.
* The kit must be designed to support nerve detection and monitoring during the procedure.
* The kit must not rely on surrounding tissue to maintain its alignment, thereby requiring less pressure.
* The anterior cervical retractor must have a table fixation feature.
* The contractor must provide a one-year warranty and on-site training for the equipment.
