Finochietto Spreader only large 25cm Alum.

Clinical Application

Provides controlled lateral separation of the ribs to expose the pleural cavity and mediastinum during open thoracic procedures. Commonly used for posterolateral and anterolateral thoracotomies, trauma thoracotomies, and other procedures requiring sustained chest wall retraction to access lungs, heart, or great vessels. As a spreader-only component, it is intended for situations where a replacement or alternative blade assembly is required without the handle or frame.

Design & Configuration

The long 25 cm span offers a larger working aperture and greater reach for deeper thoracic cavities and larger chest walls. The spreader-only configuration supplies the blade assembly portion of a Finochietto-style retractor system, permitting compatibility with existing Finochietto handles or arm assemblies where a direct replacement is needed. The blade geometry is optimized to engage the ribs and transmit separating force along the chest wall while minimizing point pressure, allowing the surgeon to maintain exposure with controlled, incremental opening.
