Morse Sternal Rib Spreader 22x27x200mm

Clinical Application

Provides stable, controlled separation of the sternum and adjacent ribs to expose the mediastinum, heart, and thoracic cavity. Commonly used during median sternotomy, coronary artery bypass grafting, valve procedures, anterior thoracotomy, and other open thoracic operations where sustained, hands-free retraction is required for surgical access and instrumentation.

Design & Configuration

The adjustable, self-retaining configuration allows gradual, controlled opening and secure maintenance of the chosen spread. A central adjustable mechanism enables single-operator deployment and hands-free retention of retraction force, improving exposure while minimizing the need for manual holding. The compact, ergonomic frame facilitates placement and manipulation within the operative field and is compatible with standard approaches to sternal and rib separation.
