The DeBakey Infant Rib Spreader Mini Finochietto 9cm is designed for delicate pediatric thoracic and cardiothoracic procedures where controlled exposure, compact sizing, and stable retraction are essential.
This infant-size rib spreader helps separate the ribs in a controlled manner, allowing the surgical team to access the chest cavity during open surgical procedures. The mini Finochietto-style mechanism allows the instrument to maintain retraction without continuous manual holding, helping improve visibility and surgical workflow.
With its 9cm compact size, this instrument is suitable for smaller surgical fields where adult rib spreaders are not appropriate. The stainless steel construction supports repeated use, cleaning, and sterilization according to approved hospital protocols.
This product is intended for use by trained pediatric, thoracic, cardiovascular, and operating room professionals only.
