Finochietto-Baby-Haight Rib Spreader Alum. 31x31x100mm

Clinical Application

Designed to provide controlled, atraumatic retraction of the ribs in small‑chest patients. This Finochietto-Baby-Haight instrument is configured for pediatric and small‑thorax thoracic procedures where precise, incremental spreading of the intercostal space is required. Typical uses include pediatric thoracotomy, limited thoracic exposure for cardiac or pulmonary procedures, and situations where reduced blade footprint and lighter instrument weight improve handling and visualization.

Design & Configuration

The instrument combines a Finochietto self‑retaining spreading mechanism with Haight‑style blades. The Finochietto pattern enables gradual, controlled opening and hands‑free maintenance of the spread position, reducing the need for prolonged manual retraction. Haight blades have a narrower profile and concave face that distributes pressure along the rib surface to reduce focal stress and soft‑tissue trauma—advantages important in pediatric and small adult chests. Aluminum construction lowers instrument weight to improve ergonomics during positioning and exchange.

Material & Construction

Constructed primarily from aluminum to reduce weight while maintaining structural strength appropriate for thoracic retraction. The instrument is designed for repeated clinical use and reprocessing according to facility protocols. Handles, blades, and the self‑retaining mechanism are engineered to provide consistent, reliable function through standard sterilization cycles.
