Cooley Sternum Spreader children 21x45x145mm

Clinical Application

Designed for controlled midline sternal retraction in pediatric cardiac and thoracic procedures, this Cooley-pattern sternum spreader provides stable exposure of the anterior mediastinum and heart in small chest cavities. Its compact footprint and pediatric sizing make it well suited for congenital cardiac repairs, valve procedures, and other operations where minimizing sternal trauma and maintaining a narrow operative field are priorities.

Design & Configuration

The compact geometry and reduced profile accommodate the smaller intercostal spaces and more delicate sternal anatomy of children. The Cooley pattern provides adjustable, reliable retraction with a configuration that facilitates incremental control of the spread, permitting the surgeon to optimize exposure while limiting undue pressure on the sternal edges. A low-profile blade allows better instrument access to the mediastinum and reduces obstruction of the surgical field.
