The Cooley Rib Spreader is a self-retaining thoracic retractor renowned for its strong, stable, and wide exposure in cardiac and major thoracic surgeries via a median sternotomy. Its robust frame and broad, curved blades are engineered to securely engage the sternal edges, distributing pressure evenly to minimize the risk of rib fracture. The powerful ratcheting mechanism allows for controlled, incremental opening, creating the large, unobstructed operative field necessary for procedures like coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and heart valve surgery.

Key Features:

  • Strong, self-retaining design with broad blades for secure sternal retraction.

  • Provides maximal, stable exposure of the heart and mediastinum for cardiac surgery.

  • Adjustable ratchet allows for precise, controlled opening and secure locking.

  • Heavy-duty construction ensures reliability during lengthy, complex procedures.

  • Minimizes slippage and distributes retraction force to protect the sternum.

  • The industry-standard retractor for open-heart surgical procedures.

Secure the wide, stable exposure critical for cardiac surgery with the trusted Cooley Rib Spreader from Medic Instrument.
