Finochietto Rib Spreader 12x15mm, 100mm

Clinical Application

Provides controlled separation of adjacent ribs to expose the thoracic cavity during open thoracotomy, lung resection, chest trauma procedures, and other intrathoracic operations requiring soft-tissue and bony retraction. The 12 x 15 mm blade profile offers a moderate contact footprint to distribute retraction forces across the intercostal space while the overall 100 mm size is suited for procedures requiring measured, precise spreading in confined operative fields.

Design & Configuration

The classic Finochietto rack-and-pinion design delivers incremental, controlled spreading with a self-retaining mechanism that secures the desired opening and frees assistants for other tasks. Blades are mounted to provide stable engagement with the ribs; the 12 x 15 mm blade dimensions balance holding contact with minimal focal pressure to reduce localized trauma to intercostal tissues. The compact 100 mm configuration supports fine adjustment and predictable mechanics during gradual widening or closure of the incision.
