Haight Rib Spreaders 115x30x30xmm

Clinical Application

Designed to provide controlled, atraumatic separation of the ribs and intercostal tissues to establish and maintain surgical exposure of the thoracic cavity. Commonly used during thoracotomy, lung resections, mediastinal procedures and other open chest operations where stable retraction and sustained exposure are required. The documented size (115 x 30 x 30 mm) delivers a moderate spread suitable for targeted access without excessive tissue tension.

Design & Configuration

The two-arm, ratcheted configuration provides incremental, self-retaining spreading force so the assistant can be released once the desired exposure is achieved. The ratchet mechanism allows fine control of spread width under direct visualization, reducing the need for manual counterforce and allowing the surgeon to maintain a consistent operative field. Blade geometry and arm length influence contact area and leverage — factors that matter clinically to minimize focal pressure on ribs and intercostal muscle while maximizing access.
