Finochietto-Baby-Haight Rib Spre. 27x30x95mm

Clinical Application

Designed to provide controlled, self‑retaining separation of the ribs for thoracic procedures, this Finochietto‑style Baby Haight rib spreader is intended for use in open thoracotomy and other limited chest wall exposures. Its compact dimensions make it particularly suitable for pediatric patients and adults with smaller thoracic cavities where a standard adult spreader would be excessive. The instrument facilitates visualization and access during pulmonary, mediastinal, esophageal and chest wall procedures while allowing gradual, incremental expansion to minimize sudden stress on ribs and intercostal tissues.

Design & Configuration

The Baby Haight configuration follows the classic Finochietto ratcheting, self‑retaining design to maintain consistent separation without continuous manual holding. Blunt, atraumatic blades distribute load across the rib surface to reduce focal pressure. The ratchet mechanism allows fine control of spread width and stable retention during instrument exchange and operative manipulation. The compact footprint of this model preserves working space in narrower operative fields and improves surgeon access in confined thoracic cavities.
