Finochietto Rib Spreader 10x15x120mm Alum.

Clinical Application

This instrument is engineered to provide controlled, atraumatic separation of the ribs to expose the thoracic cavity during thoracotomy and other open thoracic procedures. The compact 10x15x120 mm configuration is intended to suit limited-access thoracotomies, smaller intercostal spaces, and cases where a lower-profile blade footprint is preferable—facilitating visualization and instrument access for pulmonary, pleural, and trauma interventions.

Design & Configuration

The classic Finochietto geometry uses a self-retaining frame with a ratchet/worm-gear spread mechanism to allow gradual, incremental opening and secure maintenance of the desired intercostal exposure. Blade geometry designed for rib engagement distributes pressure along the rib margin to minimize focal stress and soft-tissue trauma. The aluminum construction yields a lower instrument weight compared with heavier materials, reducing operating-room fatigue during prolonged exposure.

Instrument Specifications

• Pattern: Finochietto rib spreader
• Configuration: Self-retaining with ratchet/worm-gear
• Size: 10x15x120 mm
• Blades: rib retraction blades for intercostal spreading

Material & Construction

Constructed of aluminum to provide a lighter-weight alternative to heavier alloys while maintaining the rigidity required for thoracic exposure. The instrument is built for reusable use and is compatible with standard hospital cleaning and sterilization workflows when processed according to facility instrument reprocessing protocols.

Quality & Compliance

Manufactured by FDA-registered OEM facilities and produced under strict quality control standards.
