Finochietto Rib Spreader 14x14x120mm Alum.

Clinical Application

Designed to provide stable, controlled lateral separation of the ribs to expose the pleural cavity and mediastinal structures during open thoracic procedures. Commonly used for posterolateral and anterolateral thoracotomy approaches, pulmonary resections, chest wall procedures and other cases where sustained, hands‑free rib retraction is required to optimize visualization and instrument access.

Design & Configuration

The classic Finochietto ratchet mechanism enables incremental, self‑retaining spreading for precise control of the intercostal gap without continuous manual force. Paired opposing blades distribute pressure across the rib surfaces to reduce point loading, while the ratchet lock holds the chosen aperture securely. The configuration supports one‑surgeon control of exposure and accommodates gradual adjustment during case progression.

Instrument Specifications

• Type: Finochietto-style rib spreader (self-retaining)
