$319USD

The Finochietto-Infant Rib Spreader is a micro-thoracic instrument engineered for delicate rib distraction during neonatal and infantile thoracotomy. Handcrafted from German stainless steel with a 75 mm maximum spread and fixed fenestrated blades in Option A (14 × 15 mm, $319) or Option B (15 × 15 mm, $349), it delivers precise, atraumatic infant thoracic exposure.

Product Description

The Finochietto-Infant Rib Spreader is an essential neonatal and infantile thoracic surgical retractor engineered specifically to provide controlled, micro-calibrated rib distraction during congenital cardiothoracic procedures. Designed with a delicate horizontal slide track, this instrument allows pediatric surgeons to separate tiny infant ribs with exceptional gentleness, avoiding costochondral junction tearing while maintaining an open visual corridor into the infant mediastinum.

Built to accommodate delicate infantile anatomical corridors, this Finochietto-Infant Rib Spreader series offers up to 75 mm of structural widening capacity across two specialized blade configurations: Blade Option A ($319) features 14 mm × 15 mm fixed fenestrated blades, and Blade Option B ($349) incorporates 15 mm × 15 mm fixed fenestrated blades. Handcrafted from premium operating room-grade German stainless steel, the compact lateral modules cradle infant ribs securely without slipping. Its manual turning screw lock safety bolt fixes retraction securely to eliminate user fatigue, while ergonomic tapered forceps arms feature smooth outer edges to protect adjacent soft tissues.

Forged with an anti-glare satin matte finish, Retractor Maker manufactures the Finochietto-Infant Rib Spreader to withstand repetitive hospital sterilization cycles, providing neonatal surgical suites, congenital heart centers, and pediatric trauma theaters worldwide with exceptional mechanical stability, corrosion resistance, and complete autoclave durability.
