The Baby-Haight Rib Spreader is an ultra-miniature thoracic instrument engineered for neonatal and infant rib distraction during congenital thoracic procedures.

Product Description
The Baby-Haight Rib Spreader is a specialized neonatal and pediatric cardiothoracic surgical retractor engineered specifically to provide safe, gradual intercostal rib separation in extremely fragile infant thoracic cages. Designed with a micro-slotted linear expansion guide frame, this instrument allows pediatric surgeons to distribute mechanical distraction forces with step-by-step micro-precision, eliminating focal pressure necrosis and preventing costal fractures during congenital heart surgery.
Built specifically to manage neonatal surgical parameters, this Baby-Haight Rib Spreader complete set ($289) provides up to 52 mm of micro-expansion channel capability. Handcrafted from premium operating room-grade German stainless steel, the modular system includes four detachable fenestrated lateral blades (two interchangeable pairs) comprising Pair 1 measuring 9 mm × 10 mm for shallow neonatal incisions, and Pair 2 measuring 9 mm × 20 mm for deeper infantile thoracic corridors. The integrated fine-pitch screw lock turning thumb screw delivers step-by-step self-retaining width control, while streamlined micro-forceps extension arms feature smooth outer edges that safeguard surrounding soft tissues.
Forged with an anti-glare satin matte finish, Retractor Maker manufactures the Baby-Haight Rib Spreader to withstand repetitive hospital sterilization cycles, providing pediatric cardiac centers, neonatal intensive surgical suites, and children's hospitals worldwide with exceptional mechanical stability, corrosion resistance, and complete autoclave durability.
