Finochietto-Baby-Haight Rib Spreader Alum. 27x30x95mm

Clinical Application

This Finochietto Baby Haight rib spreader is intended to provide controlled, atraumatic retraction of the ribs during thoracic procedures where a reduced span and low-profile blades are required. Typical uses include pediatric thoracotomy, mini‑thoracotomy approaches, and procedures on small-chested adults where precise incremental opening and minimal soft-tissue footprint are important for exposure and postoperative recovery.

Design & Configuration

The instrument uses the classical Finochietto-style rack-and-pinion self-retaining mechanism to allow smooth, continuous, and locked retraction with fine incremental control. The Haight-style blades present a rounded, atraumatic contact surface that distributes pressure along the rib to reduce focal stress on bone and soft tissue. The compact dimensions (27x30x95 mm) and aluminum construction reduce overall weight, improving handling and surgeon control during longer cases or when frequent repositioning is required.
