Finochietto Rib Spreader

SKU:RM-FRS-SERIES-1

$329USD

The Finochietto Rib Spreader is an internationally acclaimed thoracic retractor engineered for controlled intercostal rib separation during thoracotomy. Handcrafted from German stainless steel across six multi-size options ($329–$359) with circular fenestrated angled blades and an integrated turning screw lock, it provides unyielding mechanical exposure during open chest surgery.

Product Description

The Finochietto Rib Spreader is a foundational cardiothoracic surgical retractor engineered specifically to provide safe, gradual intercostal rib separation and chest wall exposure during major pulmonary, cardiac, and mediastinal operations. Designed with a robust rack-and-pinion guide rail, this instrument allows surgeons to apply calibrated mechanical distraction across adjacent ribs, preventing costal fractures while establishing an unencumbered visual corridor into the pleural cavity.

Built to accommodate diverse thoracic cavity depths and anatomical sizes, the standard Finochietto Rib Spreader framework can be selected across six core multi-size combinations depending on target surgical requirements: Option 1 (40 × 45 mm / 135 mm spread, $329), Option 2 (40 × 45 mm / 150 mm spread, $339), Option 3 (46 × 62 mm / 190 mm spread, $349), Option 4 (52 × 62 mm / 175 mm spread, $339), Option 5 (80 × 65 mm / 190 mm spread, $349), and Option 6 (85 × 65 mm / 175 mm spread, $359). Handcrafted from premium operating room-grade German stainless steel, the fixed angled lateral blades feature circular fenestrations that ensure positive osseous grip, while the integrated turning screw lock securely retains frame expansion without slippage.

Forged with an anti-glare satin matte finish, Retractor Maker manufactures the Finochietto Rib Spreader to withstand repetitive hospital autoclave cycles, providing cardiothoracic suites, trauma centers, and lung transplant operating rooms worldwide with exceptional structural rigidity, corrosion resistance, and complete clinical dependability.

What is the Finochietto Rib Spreader used for?

The Finochietto Rib Spreader is used in open chest surgery to hold ribs apart under locked mechanical tension, providing an expansive visual corridor to the lungs, mediastinum, and great vessels.

Which surgical procedures is it for?

It is indicated for posterolateral thoracotomy, pulmonary lobectomy, pneumonectomy, coronary artery bypass, esophageal resection, and open thoracic trauma exploration.

What material and finish are used?

The instrument is handcrafted from premium German surgical stainless steel with an anti-glare satin matte finish that eliminates optical reflections under surgical operating lights.

Is the Finochietto Rib Spreader reusable and autoclavable?

Yes. The entire Finochietto Rib Spreader is 100% reusable and fully validated for pre-vacuum steam autoclave cycles (134°C / 273°F). The guide rail and screw lock threads should be cleaned and lubricated regularly.
