Cooley Rib Spreader babies 10x15x90mm Alum.

Clinical Application

Designed for controlled retraction of the neonatal and pediatric chest, this Cooley-pattern rib spreader provides exposure of the thoracic cavity for procedures such as pediatric thoracotomy, limited sternotomy, congenital cardiac repairs, and other infant/child thoracic interventions. The smaller blade geometry reduces pressure on intercostal tissues while maintaining the operative field required for delicate pediatric work.

Design & Configuration

The compact "babies" configuration features narrow, low-profile blades sized 10 x 15 x 90 mm to fit tight intercostal spaces in infants and small children. Blade geometry and overall compact form allow controlled, incremental separation of the ribs while minimizing soft-tissue tension and obstruction of the surgical view—important when working in a limited thoracic cavity.
