Edwards Rib Spreader
The Ronald Edwards Rib Spreader is a robust, self-retaining thoracic retractor specifically designed to provide maximal, stable exposure of the thoracic cavity during open-heart and major lung surgeries. Its broad, curved blades are carefully engineered to fit securely against the ribs, distributing pressure evenly to minimize the risk of rib fracture. The heavy-duty ratcheting mechanism allows for controlled, incremental opening and secure locking, creating an optimal and unobstructed surgical field for the cardiac or thoracic surgical team.
