Morse-Favaloro Rib Spreader 17x22x160mm Alum.

Clinical Application

This instrument provides controlled, self-retaining rib retraction for open thoracic procedures. It is intended to expose the intercostal space and thoracic cavity during thoracotomy, exposure for pulmonary resections, chest wall procedures, and other intrathoracic interventions where precise progressive spreading of the ribs is required. The narrower blade profile is suited for cases where soft-tissue preservation and targeted retraction are priorities.

Design & Configuration

The Favaloro-style blade geometry concentrates spreading force across a defined blade contour to optimize grip on the rib while minimizing soft-tissue impingement. The self-retaining ratchet mechanism enables incremental, hands-free maintenance of the desired intercostal spread, improving surgical field stability and freeing assistants for other tasks. The instrument's overall length and blade dimensions provide a balance between reach into the thoracic cavity and controlled leverage during retraction.
