The DeBakey Infant Rib Spreader Mini Finochietto 2 3/8″ Arms is designed for delicate pediatric and infant thoracic procedures where controlled exposure and careful instrument handling are essential.
This compact rib spreader helps separate the ribs in a stable and controlled manner, allowing the surgical team to access the chest cavity during open thoracic or cardiothoracic procedures. The mini Finochietto-style design provides a self-retaining spreading mechanism, helping maintain exposure without constant manual retraction.
With 2 3/8″ arms, this instrument is suitable for smaller surgical fields where adult-size retractors are not appropriate. Its stainless steel construction supports repeated cleaning, sterilization, and professional operating room use when maintained according to approved facility protocols.
This instrument is intended for trained pediatric, thoracic, cardiovascular, and operating room professionals only.
