Blade/Finochietto Spreader 50x50mm pair Alum.

Clinical Application

These 50 x 50 mm blades are purpose-built for chest wall retraction during thoracic procedures that require controlled separation of the ribs and exposure of the pleural cavity. Supplied as a matched pair, they are used to provide symmetrical retraction when mounted on a Finochietto-style rib spreader frame, facilitating access for thoracotomy, mediastinal exposure, and other open thoracic interventions where a compact blade footprint is required.

Design & Configuration

The square 50 x 50 mm blade footprint provides a broad contact area designed to distribute retraction forces across the rib surface, reducing focal pressure on bone and soft tissue. Supplied as a matched pair so the spread is even on both sides of the incision, these blades are sized for moderate retraction needs where large flanges are unnecessary. The Finochietto pattern ensures secure seating on compatible retractor racks and consistent orientation during incremental opening and closing.
