Blade/ Finochietto Rib Spreader 50x50mm pair

Clinical Application

Designed to provide controlled lateral retraction of the ribs during open thoracic procedures. The 50 x 50 mm blade footprint offers a moderate contact area to expose the pleural cavity for procedures such as thoracotomy, pulmonary resection, chest wall repair, decortication and other intrathoracic interventions where stable rib separation is required.

Design & Configuration

These blades are supplied as a matched pair to be mounted on a Finochietto-style frame and ratchet mechanism. The broad, flat paddle geometry distributes load across the rib surface to minimize focal pressure and reduce soft-tissue trauma while maintaining secure retraction. The 50 x 50 mm size is selected to balance exposure with soft-tissue preservation in moderate thoracic exposures. A design for straightforward attachment to Finochietto-style spreader frames facilitates rapid blade exchange intraoperatively.
