Morse Favaloro Rib Spreader
The Morse Favaloro Rib Spreader is a specialized thoracic retractor designed to provide stable, atraumatic exposure of the heart and great vessels during cardiac surgery, particularly coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Its broad, gently curved blades distribute retraction force evenly along the ribs, minimizing the risk of fracture. The ratcheted, self-retaining mechanism allows for controlled, gradual opening and secure locking, freeing the surgical team’s hands for the intricate cardiac procedure.
Key Features:
-
Broad, curved blades designed for atraumatic rib retraction and optimal cardiac exposure.
-
Self-retaining ratchet mechanism allows for hands-free, stable retraction.
-
Provides wide access to the mediastinum for harvesting internal mammary arteries and performing anastomoses.
-
Robust construction ensures reliability during lengthy open-heart procedures.
-
Reduces post-operative pain and rib trauma compared to older retractor designs.
-
A cornerstone instrument in modern cardiac surgical suites.
Gain optimal, stable exposure for cardiac procedures with the atraumatic design of the Morse Favaloro Rib Spreader from Medic Instrument.
