Finochietto Rib Spreader 40x40x165mm

Clinical Application

Designed for controlled retraction of the ribs and thoracic cage during open thoracotomy and other chest procedures, this instrument provides stable, progressive spreading to improve exposure of the pleural cavity, lungs, mediastinum and chest wall. It is used in pulmonary resections, chest wall repairs, trauma thoracotomy, and procedures requiring lateral or anterior rib separation.

Design & Configuration

The Finochietto-style configuration features a self-retaining ratchet mechanism that permits precise incremental opening and secure maintenance of the desired span without constant manual force. Removable blades allow selection and positioning to match patient anatomy and incision placement. The 40x40x165 mm configuration identifies the working blade interface and overall geometry, enabling buyers to match instrument reach and blade engagement to procedural needs and thoracic dimensions.
