Finocchiotto Rib Spreader
The Finocchietto Rib Spreader is a classic, self-retaining thoracic retractor renowned for its strength and stability in providing exposure for open-heart and major lung surgeries via a posterolateral thoracotomy. Its distinctive design features curved, fenestrated blades that securely engage multiple ribs, distributing retraction force over a wider area to minimize the risk of rib fracture. The heavy-duty ratcheting mechanism allows for powerful, incremental, and stable opening, creating the wide, deep operative field necessary for complex pulmonary and esophageal procedures.
