Finochietto Rib Spreader serr 42x62x170mm

Clinical Application

Used for controlled retraction of the ribs to provide wide exposure of the thoracic cavity during open thoracotomy and other chest wall procedures. The serrated blade faces stabilize contact on the rib edges to minimize slippage while maintaining access for pulmonary, mediastinal, or cardiac procedures that require sustained lateral separation of the intercostal space.

Design & Configuration

The instrument’s Finochietto pattern employs a rack-and-pinion/ratchet-style spreader that permits incremental, locked opening for precise control of rib separation. Serrated blade faces improve grip on bony surfaces, reducing the need for frequent repositioning and helping maintain a consistent operative field. The numeric designation 42x62x170 mm indicates the instrument’s sizing configuration, which informs blade footprint and spread capacity for selecting the appropriate device for patient anatomy and surgical exposure requirements.
