Clinical Application
These aluminum Finochietto-style spreader blades serve as the bone-contact interfaces for rib spreader frames during open thoracic procedures. Installed as a matched pair, they provide stable, symmetrical retraction of the ribs or sternal edges to maintain exposure of the thoracic cavity for pulmonary, cardiothoracic, mediastinal and traumatic chest operations. Their surface area and profile help maintain a consistent operative field while allowing the surgical team to work with improved visualization and access.
Design & Configuration
The 80x90 mm blade profile offers a broad contact surface that disperses retraction forces across the rib or sternal margin, helping reduce focal pressure and soft-tissue trauma. Supplied as a matched pair, the blades enable controlled, symmetric separation when mounted to a Finochietto-style frame. The lightweight aluminum construction improves handling and positioning, which can reduce operator fatigue during longer procedures and ease placement and removal in the operative sequence.
