Cooley Rib Spreader babies 20x25x80mm

Clinical Application

Designed for pediatric thoracic procedures, this small-profile rib retractor provides controlled exposure of the infant chest cavity for neonatal and pediatric cardiac, pulmonary, and mediastinal access. The narrow blade widths are intended to fit small intercostal spaces while minimizing pressure on ribs and surrounding soft tissue, making it suitable for limited thoracotomies and procedures where delicate, incremental retraction is required.

Design & Configuration

The instrument uses an asymmetric blade pair (20 mm and 25 mm) with an adjustable spread capacity up to 80 mm. Narrow blade profiles reduce the risk of rib edge pressure and soft-tissue trauma in small patients, while the adjustable mechanism allows the surgeon to increase exposure in controlled increments. Low-profile blades and precise alignment help maintain a stable operative field in confined pediatric thoracic cavities.
