Bailey Rib Spreaders
Bailey Rib Spreaders are robust, self-retaining thoracic retractors specifically engineered for cardiac and pulmonary surgery via a median sternotomy. Their broad, deep-curved blades are designed to securely engage the cut edges of the sternum, providing powerful and stable retraction to open the chest cavity widely. The heavy-duty ratcheting mechanism allows for controlled, incremental opening and secure locking, creating the expansive and unobstructed surgical field essential for complex procedures like coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and valve replacements.
Key Features:
-
Strong, self-retaining frame with broad, deep-curved blades for secure sternal engagement.
-
Provides maximal, stable exposure of the heart and mediastinum during open-heart surgery.
-
Adjustable ratchet mechanism allows for precise, controlled opening and secure locking.
-
Heavy-duty construction from surgical stainless steel ensures durability in demanding procedures.
-
Designed to distribute retraction force evenly, minimizing the risk of rib or sternal fracture.
-
A cornerstone instrument in cardiothoracic surgery for optimal intrathoracic access.
Gain the critical, wide exposure required for complex cardiac surgery with the reliable strength of Bailey Rib Spreaders from Medic Instrument.
