Pediatric Burford Finochietto Rib Spreader for Thoracic Surgery
The Burford Finochietto Infant/Child Rib Spreader is a specialized thoracic retractor designed for controlled and gentle rib separation in pediatric and infant thoracic surgeries. It is widely used in procedures where minimal trauma and maximum precision are required due to the delicate nature of the patient’s anatomy.
This system includes 4 pairs of interchangeable blades, allowing surgeons to adapt the instrument according to rib size and surgical requirement. The interchangeable blade system enhances versatility and ensures optimal fit across a range of small thoracic cases.
The instrument features a smooth screw-driven expansion mechanism that provides controlled and gradual rib cage opening. This ensures stable surgical exposure while minimizing stress on ribs and surrounding soft tissues.
Manufactured from high-quality surgical-grade stainless steel, the rib spreader offers excellent durability, corrosion resistance, and reliable performance under repeated sterilization cycles. It is designed for consistent use in both pediatric human surgery and small-animal veterinary applications.
