Blade/Finochietto Spreader 80x60mm pair Alum.

Clinical Application

These replacement Finochietto blades provide atraumatic retraction of the ribs during open thoracic procedures. They are intended for use in thoracotomy and other procedures requiring controlled rib spreading to expose the pleural space, lungs, and mediastinal structures. The 80x60 mm paddle area offers a larger contact footprint to distribute retraction forces across the rib surface, which helps reduce focal pressure and soft-tissue injury during prolonged exposure.

Design & Configuration

Offered as a matched pair of paddle blades, the geometry and surface area of the blades are configured to deliver even lateral force across the intercostal space. A wider 80x60 mm paddle is useful when broader exposure is needed or when the surgeon prefers a larger contact area to minimize localized tissue stress. The blades are manufactured to mount to standard Finochietto-style retractor frames, allowing rapid installation and symmetric retraction during progressive opening.

Material & Construction

Constructed from aluminum to provide a lightweight blade that eases handling during placement and adjustment. The paddle surfaces are finished for safe tissue contact and designed for routine cleaning and repeated sterilization cycles in clinical settings. The blades are machined to maintain consistent dimensions and surface smoothness for reliable seating against ribs and chest-wall tissues.

Quality & Compliance

Manufactured by FDA-registered OEM facilities and produced under strict quality control standards.
