Finochietto-Infant Rib Spreader 12x15x70mm

Clinical Application

Designed for controlled retraction of the infant chest, this Finochietto-pattern rib spreader provides stable exposure for pediatric thoracic procedures including infant thoracotomy, limited sternotomy, and other small‑field intrathoracic operations. Its infant-sized blades and compact profile are intended to facilitate visualization and access in neonates and small infants while enabling incremental opening to accommodate delicate pediatric anatomy.

Design & Configuration

The instrument follows the classic Finochietto design with a slide arm and self-retaining ratchet mechanism that permits precise, incremental distraction. Small, low-profile blades concentrate retraction on a reduced footprint appropriate for infant ribs, allowing the surgeon to control spread width and maintain exposure without continuous manual traction. The ratchet lock secures the chosen aperture, freeing assistants and stabilizing the operative field.
