Finochietto Rib Spreader 30x45x140mm Alum.

Clinical Application

This instrument is designed to provide stable, hands-free retraction of the ribs and chest wall during open thoracic procedures. It is used to expose the pleural cavity and mediastinum for procedures such as lobectomy, pneumonectomy, decortication, chest wall tumor resection and emergency thoracotomy for trauma. The combination of blade widths and depth supports selection based on patient chest size and the required exposure.

Design & Configuration

The Finochietto rack-and-pinion design provides controlled, incremental distraction and a self-retaining hold once positioned, allowing the surgical team unobstructed access to the operative field without continuous manual force. The 30x45x140 mm configuration supplies two blade width options and a deep blade length to accommodate varying rib sizes and surgical depths; interchangeable blades enable rapid adjustment intraoperatively. The lightweight aluminum construction reduces instrument bulk while maintaining structural rigidity for sustained retraction.
