Cooley Rib Spreader infant 15x20x100mm Alum.

Clinical Application

Compact rib retraction for pediatric thoracic procedures. The small-format Cooley design is used to expose the infant thoracic cavity during neonatal and infant thoracotomies, pediatric cardiac approaches, and other delicate chest procedures where a reduced blade footprint and controlled spread minimize musculoskeletal and soft-tissue trauma.

Design & Configuration

The infant 15 x 20 x 100 mm configuration delivers a narrow, low-profile blade geometry and limited spread range appropriate for small chests. The Cooley form factor is valued for ergonomic handling and precise retraction in confined operative fields—allowing the surgical team to maintain exposure while reducing excessive rib displacement and pressure on intercostal structures.
