Morse Sternal Rib Spreader 19x19x200mm Alum.

Clinical Application

Designed to provide controlled separation of the sternum and ribs during median sternotomy and other thoracic procedures, this instrument facilitates exposure for cardiac, thoracic and mediastinal surgery. It is indicated where stable, sustained retraction is required to maintain an open surgical field for dissection, grafting, cannulation and repair procedures.

Design & Configuration

The Morse pattern provides a familiar ergonomic form for surgeons and scrub staff. The 19x19x200 mm configuration denotes the instrument's working dimensions and overall length, allowing focused sternal spreading while maintaining a compact footprint in the wound. The geometric balance between blade size and span supports effective exposure with controlled, incremental adjustment to minimize tissue trauma and permit fine tuning of retraction force during critical operative steps.
