Finochietto Rib Spreader 42x61mm, 245mm

Clinical Application

Designed for open thoracic procedures, this Finochietto rib spreader provides controlled separation of the ribs to expose the pleural cavity and mediastinum. It is indicated for thoracotomy, pulmonary resections, chest wall procedures and other interventions that require stable, hands‑free retraction of the ribs to maintain an operative field. The blade dimensions (42 x 61 mm) offer a moderate span and depth suitable for standard adult thoracic exposures.

Design & Configuration

The instrument features a classic Finochietto configuration with a ratchet-actuated, self-retaining frame that permits incremental opening and stable maintenance of rib separation without constant manual force. The 245 mm overall length balances reach and intraoperative maneuverability at the incision site. Controlled, stepwise advancement of the ratchet reduces the need for repeated adjustments and helps maintain consistent exposure throughout the procedure.
