Finochietto Rib Spreader 70x65x250mm

Clinical Application

Provides stable, controlled retraction of the ribs and chest wall to establish and maintain exposure during open thoracic procedures. Commonly used in posterolateral and anterolateral thoracotomy, lung resections, video-assisted thoracotomy conversion, mediastinal access and procedures where sustained unilateral thoracic exposure is required. The 70 x 65 x 250 mm dimension set is intended to accommodate a range of adult patient chest-wall anatomies while permitting graduated opening for fine control of intercostal spacing.

Design & Configuration

The Finochietto rack-and-pinion mechanism allows precise, incremental spreading with a single-handed crank and positive locking to maintain retraction without continuous manual force. Contoured blades conform to rib curvature to distribute contact pressure and reduce focal stress on costal margins. Blade width and reach affect the area of contact and depth of exposure; this geometry supports broad visualization while helping to limit focal trauma to bone and soft tissue when used with appropriate operative technique.
