$269USD
The Morse-Favaloro Rib Spreader is a specialized cardiothoracic surgical instrument engineered with movable angled lateral blades for anatomical bone adaptation during coronary and thoracic surgery. Handcrafted from German stainless steel and anodized aluminum with 17 × 22 mm movable blades and a 160 mm spread ($269), it provides gentle, slip-resistant rib distraction.
Product Description
The Morse-Favaloro Rib Spreader is an essential cardiothoracic surgical retractor engineered specifically to provide safe, contoured intercostal rib separation and anterior thoracic exposure during coronary revascularization and pulmonary procedures. Designed with multi-position movable blades, this instrument allows the lateral paddles to swivel and contort precisely to the patient's rib curvature, distributing distraction loads evenly to prevent focal periosteal bruising or costal fracturing.
Built for refined surgical control, this dedicated Morse-Favaloro Rib Spreader configuration features an overall horizontal expansion spread of 160 mm ($269). Handcrafted from premium operating room-grade German stainless steel blades mounted on a lightweight aluminum guide bar rail, the movable lateral blades measure 17 mm × 22 mm, optimized for precise bone adaptation in standard and delicate thoracic cages. The four movable blades (two per shank) lock at optimum retraction via an integrated turning thread screw lock, while tapered aluminum handle shanks feature smooth outer edges to protect adjacent soft tissues.
Forged with an anti-glare satin matte finish, Retractor Maker manufactures the Morse-Favaloro Rib Spreader to withstand repetitive hospital autoclave cycles, providing open-heart surgery centers, thoracic clinics, and cardiac surgical theaters worldwide with exceptional mechanical stability, corrosion resistance, and complete autoclave durability.
