Professional Finochietto Rib Spreader for Thoracic Surgery
The Finochietto Rib Spreader Adult is a standard thoracic retractor widely used in open chest surgeries to provide safe and effective rib separation. It is designed for procedures requiring maximum exposure of the thoracic cavity, including lung, cardiac, and mediastinal surgeries.
This model offers a working spread of 19.5 cm, allowing significant and controlled expansion of the rib cage. The ratchet and screw mechanism ensures smooth, incremental opening with stable fixation, reducing the risk of sudden movement or tissue trauma during surgery.
Manufactured from premium surgical-grade stainless steel, the instrument ensures long-term durability, corrosion resistance, and reliable performance in repeated sterilization cycles. Its robust construction makes it suitable for both human and veterinary thoracic surgical applications.
