$299USD

The Finochietto-Baby Rib Spreader is a pediatric thoracic instrument designed for safe intercostal rib separation in neonatal and pediatric surgery. Handcrafted from German stainless steel with 31 × 31 mm fixed fenestrated blades, a 100 mm maximum track spread, and an integrated turning screw lock ($299), it ensures gentle, micro-calibrated chest wall distraction.

Product Description

The Finochietto-Baby Rib Spreader is a specialized pediatric thoracic surgical retractor engineered specifically to provide safe, gradual rib separation and chest wall exposure during infant thoracotomies and pediatric cardiothoracic interventions. Designed with a scaled-down slide guide rail, this instrument allows surgeons to distribute mechanical spreading forces gently across fragile ribs, preventing costal fractures while maintaining an unobstructed visual corridor into the thoracic cavity.

Built specifically for tight pediatric operative fields, this Finochietto-Baby Rib Spreader configuration ($299) features fixed fenestrated lateral blades measuring 31 mm × 31 mm that are anatomically optimized for neonatal and pediatric anatomy. Handcrafted from premium operating room-grade German stainless steel, the parallel slide track opens to a 100 mm maximum expansion capability. The circular blade fenestrations ensure positive purchase on delicate rib borders, while the integrated turning screw lock securely retains the chosen retraction spread without slipping, eliminating assistant fatigue during delicate procedures.

Forged with an anti-glare satin matte finish, Retractor Maker produces the Finochietto-Baby Rib Spreader to withstand repetitive hospital sterilization cycles, providing pediatric cardiac operating rooms, children's hospitals, and congenital thoracic centers worldwide with exceptional structural durability, corrosion resistance, and complete autoclave dependability.
