Morse-Favaloro Rib Spreader 40x20x155mm Alum.

Clinical Application

Designed for controlled separation of the ribs and stable exposure of the thoracic cavity in open thoracic procedures. This instrument is intended for use during thoracotomy, pulmonary resections, chest wall repair and other operations that require atraumatic spreading of the intercostal space to improve visualization and access to intrathoracic structures.

Design & Configuration

The Morse-Favaloro configuration provides a pair of anatomically profiled blades paired with an adjustable spreading mechanism to deliver consistent lateral force across the ribs. Blade geometry and overall length combine to maximize exposure while limiting focal pressure on individual ribs. The adjustable, self-retaining mechanism secures the spread position so the surgical team can maintain a stable field without continuous manual tension.
