Finochietto Rib Spreader w/3 pair blades 15cm

Clinical Application

Designed for open thoracic exposure, this self-retaining rib spreader facilitates controlled separation of ribs and sustained access to the pleural cavity during thoracotomy, lung resection, chest wall procedures and emergency thoracic exploration. The included three pairs of blades provide options to match rib anatomy and surgical exposure requirements, helping teams optimize visualization and working space while minimizing the need to exchange instruments intraoperatively.

Design & Configuration

The Finochietto pattern uses a self-retaining retraction mechanism that maintains a stable interval between blades once set, freeing surgical personnel for other tasks. An interchangeable blade system with three pairs allows the surgeon to tailor blade width and profile to patient size and rib curvature, improving contact distribution along the rib surface. The 15 cm span offers moderate maximal opening suited to small-to-medium thoracotomies or cases where a more compact spreader improves handling and access.
