Blade/ Finochietto Rib Spreader 30x30mm pair

Clinical Application

These matched blades are intended to provide controlled retraction of the chest wall during open thoracic procedures. The 30x30 mm blade dimensions offer a compact bilateral contact area suitable for limited exposures or narrower intercostal spaces, enabling surgeons to achieve adequate visualization and access for procedures such as anterior or posterolateral thoracotomy, pleural work, and intrathoracic exploration. Used in combination with a Finochietto-style retractor frame, the blades permit graduated, incremental separation of the ribs while maintaining stable exposure.

Design & Configuration

The blades are supplied as a matched pair so opposing surfaces align to distribute retraction forces across the rib rather than concentrating pressure at a single point. The broad, contoured blade face supports the rib edge and adjacent soft tissue to minimize focal pressure and reduce the risk of skeletal injury during progressive distraction. Precision mating features allow secure attachment to Finochietto-style frames and predictable engagement with the retractor’s holding mechanism for controlled, ratcheted expansion.

Instrument Specifications

• Pattern / model: Finochietto
• Configuration: matched pair for Finochietto-style frame mounting
• Size: 30x30 mm
• Tip / jaw pattern: broad, atraumatic blade faces
• Typical surgical use: thoracic retraction (open thoracotomy and limited chest exposures)

Material & Construction

Manufactured from surgical-grade stainless steel for strength, corrosion resistance, and repeated reprocessing. Blade faces are finished to reduce tissue adhesion and machined to ensure consistent engagement with the retractor frame. The construction supports standard hospital reprocessing methods, including steam sterilization, and is intended for long-term reusable service when maintained according to facility protocols.

Quality & Compliance

Manufactured by FDA-registered OEM facilities and produced under strict quality control standards.

Brand Comparison

Comparable in form and function to equivalent instruments offered by major US medical suppliers.
