Clinical Application
Designed to provide controlled separation of the ribs and stable exposure of the thoracic cavity during thoracic procedures. Commonly used for posterolateral or anterolateral thoracotomy approaches, chest wall access for pulmonary and mediastinal procedures, and other operations requiring sustained, atraumatic retraction of the intercostal space. The paired blade format distributes contact pressure across the rib to minimize local tissue trauma while maintaining a clear operative field.
Design & Configuration
The Finochietto-style blade geometry provides broad, flat contact surfaces to reduce point pressure on costal margins. The 80 x 90 mm dimension reflects blade sizing intended for moderate-span retraction where a balance of reach and soft-tissue protection is required. As a paired blade set, these components mount to a Finochietto-type spreading frame and work with its incremental self-retaining mechanism to allow controlled, hands-free maintenance of surgical exposure.
Instrument Specifications
- Pattern: Finochietto rib spreader blades
- Content: Paired blades (2 blades)
- Blade size: 80 x 90 mm
- Primary use: Thoracotomy and intercostal retraction for thoracic exposure
