Finochietto Infant Spreader 15x15x75mm, Alum.

Clinical Application

Designed to provide atraumatic, stable exposure of the infant chest during pediatric thoracotomy, congenital cardiac access, mediastinal procedures and other infant thoracic surgeries. The compact blade geometry and shorter reach allow controlled rib separation and direct visualization of the operative field while minimizing excessive stress on fragile rib cartilage and surrounding tissues.

Design & Configuration

The self-retaining Finochietto pattern uses opposing spreader blades and an integrated ratchet to achieve and maintain incremental separation without continuous manual assistance. The 15x15x75 mm geometry offers a reduced-profile blade and limited span appropriate for infant anatomy, allowing precise control of retraction depth and width. The low-profile frame and lightweight aluminum construction improve handling and reduce fatigue for the surgical team during prolonged exposure.
