Blade/Finochietto Spreader 60x60mm pair Alum.

Clinical Application

Designed to provide controlled, bilateral retraction of the ribs and intercostal space during open thoracic procedures. These 60x60 mm blades are intended to mount to a Finochietto-style retractor frame to create a stable field for thoracotomy, lung access, mediastinal exposure, and certain cardiac or esophageal approaches. The 60x60 mm sizing supplies a moderate blade projection and contact width suitable for establishing working space in typical adult intercostal intervals.

Design & Configuration

As paired blades for a rack-and-pinion Finochietto retractor system, the geometry distributes retraction forces across a broad contact surface to reduce focal pressure on rib edges and soft tissues. The paired configuration enables symmetrical spreading and controlled incremental opening when used with the retractor frame. The moderate projection/width balance visibility and access while limiting over-distraction of the chest wall.

Instrument Specifications

• Instrument type: Rib spreader blade pair
• Pattern / model: Finochietto-style blades
• Configuration: Paired blades for attachment to a Finochietto retractor frame
• Size: 60x60 mm
• Typical use: Thoracotomy, pleural cavity exposure, thoracic access
• Material: Aluminum
• Reusable: Yes, designed for repeated reprocessing

Material & Construction

Manufactured from aluminum to provide a lighter-weight blade option compared with heavier stainless steel components. The aluminum construction reduces surgeon and staff fatigue when positioning and holding the retractor while maintaining the rigidity required for effective rib separation. Blades are finished for clinical use and designed for routine cleaning and sterilization workflows in accordance with facility protocols.

Quality & Compliance

Manufactured by FDA-registered OEM facilities and produced under strict quality control standards.

Brand Comparison

Comparable in form and function to equivalent instruments offered by major US medical suppliers.
