Finochietto Rib Spreader only large 25cm

Clinical Application

Designed to provide controlled, sustained separation of the ribs and chest wall, this large Finochietto rib retractor is used to create and maintain the surgical exposure required for open thoracic procedures. Common applications include thoracotomy, access to the pleural space, pulmonary resections, chest wall and trauma procedures where wide, stable retraction of the intercostal space is required. The self-retaining action permits hands-free exposure, enabling the surgeon and assistants to focus on critical operative steps.

Design & Configuration

The large-frame Finochietto geometry delivers increased lateral span and mechanical advantage for wider retraction compared with smaller patterns. Blade-style arms conform to the curvature of the ribs to distribute force across the contact surface and reduce point-loading on costal edges. The self-retaining mechanism provides incremental, controlled spreading and maintains stable retraction without continuous manual force, which helps reduce fatigue in the operating team and improves consistency of exposure.
