Finochietto Rib Spreader w/3 pair blades 25cm

Clinical Application

Designed to provide controlled, stable retraction of the ribs for access to the pleural and mediastinal spaces. Commonly used in open thoracic procedures, including posterolateral and anterolateral thoracotomy approaches, the instrument facilitates atraumatic separation of ribs to improve visualization and instrument access for pulmonary, esophageal, or cardiac procedures.

Design & Configuration

The Finochietto pattern distributes retraction forces along paired blades to minimize focal pressure on the rib edges while maintaining a wide, unobstructed working corridor. Supplied with three pairs of interchangeable blades, the set allows the operating team to select blade widths and profiles that best match patient anatomy and incision location, improving fit and reducing the need for intraoperative improvisation. The 25 cm frame provides reach suitable for typical adult thoracic exposures while keeping the working profile compact for easier handling in the field.
