Finochietto Burford Retractor 47x62x300mm, 65x62x300mm Alum. with 2 pairs of blades

Clinical Application

Provides controlled separation of the ribs to maintain exposure of the thoracic cavity during open thoracotomy and other chest procedures. The broad blade faces distribute retraction forces to minimize focal pressure on ribs and soft tissues, improving access for pulmonary resections, mediastinal procedures, chest wall repairs, and conversions from minimally invasive approaches.

Design & Configuration

The instrument features an adjustable spreader mechanism paired with two interchangeable blade pairs, allowing the operator to select blade geometry that best matches incision size and rib thickness. Broad blades reduce point loading on bone and soft tissue, while the lightweight aluminum frame reduces hand fatigue and facilitates positioning. The adjustable spread capability permits gradual, controlled opening and stable retention of the desired intercostal gap during the procedure.
