Finochietto Rib Spreader 42x61x245mm, Alum.

Clinical Application

Designed to provide atraumatic, sustained separation of the ribs, this Finochietto-style rib spreader enables controlled exposure of the thoracic cavity during open thoracotomy, pulmonary resections, mediastinal procedures and trauma-related chest exploration. Its self-retaining mechanism frees the surgical team’s hands for instrumentation and suction while maintaining consistent intercostal access throughout the procedure.

Design & Configuration

The classic Finochietto configuration features opposing blades mounted on articulating arms with a self-retaining ratchet mechanism that permits incremental opening and stable maintenance of the chosen span. This geometry provides predictable, uniform lateral translation of the ribs, optimizing access to the pleural space while allowing fine control over retraction force and opening width — important for minimizing soft-tissue and costal margin trauma during extended procedures.
