rib spreader tool
A Rib Spreader Tool is a robust, self-retaining thoracic retractor used to separate the ribs and provide wide, stable access to the chest cavity during open-heart and major lung surgeries. Its strong, curved blades engage the ribs securely, and a ratcheting mechanism allows for controlled, incremental opening and secure locking. This creates the large, unobstructed surgical field essential for procedures like coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), valve surgery, and lung resections. It is a fundamental instrument in any cardiothoracic or thoracic surgery suite.

Strong, self-retaining design with curved blades for secure rib engagement.
