Finochietto Spreader serr 73x65x170mm

Clinical Application

This instrument is a Finochietto-style rib spreader used to provide controlled, stable exposure of the thoracic cavity during open thoracotomy and other intrathoracic procedures. The serrated blade faces improve grip on the ribs to reduce instrument slippage during retraction, allowing the surgeon and assistants to maintain a consistent operative field while performing pulmonary, mediastinal, or cardiac access procedures.

Design & Configuration

The classic Finochietto geometry employs opposing blades mounted on a longitudinal shaft with a rack-and-pinion ratchet for progressive, incremental spreading and secure locking at any intermediate position. Serrated blade faces increase purchase on the rib surface to minimize rotation and migration under load. The instrument's dimensions (73 x 65 x 170 mm) describe the blade and spreader geometry and inform selection based on the amount of exposure required and the operative approach.
