Blade/Finochietto Spreader 40x100mm pair Alum

Clinical Application

Provides atraumatic retraction of the ribs to expose the pleural space and intrathoracic structures during open thoracic procedures. Common applications include posterolateral and anterolateral thoracotomy, lung resections, pleural decortication, and other procedures that require controlled rib separation for surgical access and visualization.

Design & Configuration

The pair of blades is configured in the classic Finochietto arrangement to engage opposing rib surfaces and transfer spreading force evenly along the blade face. The 40x100 mm sizing offers a specific blade footprint suitable for moderate rib spread and controlled expansion of the intercostal space. Lightweight construction improves handling during placement and removal while blade geometry helps reduce focal pressure on ribs and soft tissues, facilitating stable exposure with minimal slippage.
