Cooley Rib Spreader babies 10x15x90mm

Clinical Application

Provides controlled retraction of the ribs and intercostal tissues during pediatric thoracic and cardiac procedures. Sized for neonates and infants, the instrument facilitates exposure for thoracotomies, minimally invasive pediatric cardiac repairs, chest tube placement, and diagnostic thoracoscopy access where a low-profile, narrow-span retractor is required. Its geometry helps minimize soft-tissue and bony stress during exposure in small chests.

Design & Configuration

The Cooley pattern is engineered for precise, incremental spreading appropriate to delicate pediatric anatomy. Narrow blades and a short span reduce the force applied to individual ribs and soft tissues while maintaining adequate exposure of the operative field. The blade geometry and handle ergonomics support controlled insertion and incremental opening, allowing the surgeon to optimize access while limiting trauma to the chest wall.
