Blade/Finochietto Spreader 30x30mm pair Alum.

Clinical Application

Blades are intended for use as the contact paddles on a Finochietto-style rib spreader to provide stable retraction of ribs and soft tissues during thoracotomy, thoracoscopic access, and other anterior or lateral chest procedures. The 30x30 mm paddles deliver a defined contact area for controlled tissue distribution, helping maintain exposure of the operative field while minimizing focal pressure on costal margins.

Design & Configuration

The paired blade configuration mounts to a standard Finochietto spreader frame and operates as complementary paddles that separate and support the ribs when the frame is expanded. The flat paddle geometry increases surface contact to spread load across the rib and intercostal tissues, reducing point pressure that can contribute to rib fracture or soft-tissue injury. A matched pair ensures symmetrical retraction and secure seating within the spreader mechanism for stable exposure throughout the procedure.
