Finochietto Baby Spreader 14x15x75mm Alum.

Clinical Application

Small-profile rib retractor designed to provide controlled, symmetric retraction of the chest wall in pediatric and small-adult thoracic procedures. The compact blade dimensions suit limited operative fields encountered in infant and child thoracotomies, minimally invasive open conversions, and procedures requiring delicate rib separation to expose the pleural cavity, lung parenchyma, mediastinum or posterior chest wall. The self-retaining action frees assistants’ hands for suction, instrumentation and suture management while maintaining a stable operative corridor.

Design & Configuration

The instrument employs the classic Finochietto geometry with paired opposing blades and a ratcheting adjustment that provides incremental, self-retaining spreading. The smaller 'baby' profile reduces the span and blade footprint to minimize rib edge pressure and soft-tissue trauma in small chests. The ratchet mechanism allows fine control of opening amplitude and secure maintenance of position without continuous manual force, improving exposure while reducing fatigue for the surgical team.
