Clinical Application
Designed to provide controlled, atraumatic retraction of the ribs and intercostal structures during open thoracic procedures. These paired blades are used to create and maintain operative exposure for thoracotomy, lung resections, mediastinal access, and other chest-cavity interventions where stable lateral separation of the ribs is required.
Design & Configuration
The 40x40 mm blade geometry offers broad contact surfaces to distribute retraction forces across the rib margin and reduce focal pressure on costal tissues. Supplied as a matched pair for use in a Finochietto-style rib spreading frame, the blades provide symmetric separation and consistent working space. The lightweight aluminum construction reduces instrument mass at the operating field, improving ergonomics during placement and adjustment.
Instrument Specifications
- Pattern: Finochietto rib spreader blades (paired)
- Blade size: 40x40 mm
- Configuration: Matching left and right blades for rib spreading
- Material: Aluminum construction
- Intended use: Thoracic retraction in open chest procedures
- Reusable: Yes; designed for repeated use and sterilization per facility protocol
Material & Construction
Manufactured from aluminum to provide a balance of strength and reduced weight compared with heavier alloys. Aluminum blades ease handling during positioning and reduce fatigue for surgical staff during prolonged retraction. The design is intended for routine reprocessing and sterilization in accordance with facility SOPs for reusable instruments.
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.
