Rib Holder

A Rib Holder is a sturdy orthopedic or cardiothoracic surgical instrument designed to securely grasp and stabilize a rib segment during procedures involving the chest wall. It is commonly used in rib fracture fixation, thoracoplasty, or chest wall reconstruction to provide a firm, immobile grip on the rib, allowing the surgeon to apply plates, screws, or wires with precision. By stabilizing the bone, it prevents movement that could complicate fixation or cause further injury, ensuring accurate alignment and stable repair in trauma and reconstructive thoracic surgery.

Key Features:

• Strong, toothed or serrated jaws for a secure, non-slip grip on a rib segment.

• Used to stabilize ribs during fracture fixation, plating, or resection procedures.

• Provides a steady platform for accurate placement of orthopedic hardware.

• Essential in trauma surgery for rib fracture repair and in thoracic surgery for chest wall procedures.

• Often features a locking mechanism to maintain grip without constant hand pressure.

• A fundamental instrument for orthopedic and cardiothoracic surgeons operating on the chest wall.
