Rib Spreaders

Rib Spreaders are robust, self-retaining thoracic retractors essential for providing wide, stable exposure of the chest cavity during open-heart and major lung surgeries. These powerful instruments feature strong, curved blades that securely engage the ribs, distributing force to minimize the risk of fracture. A heavy-duty ratcheting mechanism allows for controlled, incremental opening and secure locking, creating the large, unobstructed surgical field necessary for procedures like coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), valve replacements, lung resections, and trauma surgery. They are fundamental tools in cardiothoracic and general thoracic operating rooms.

Key Features:

• Strong, self-retaining frame with broad, curved blades for secure rib retraction.

• Provides maximal, stable exposure of the heart, lungs, and mediastinum.

• Adjustable ratchet allows for precise, controlled opening and secure locking.

• Designed to distribute force and minimize rib trauma or slippage.

• Essential for median sternotomy and thoracotomy approaches in cardiac and pulmonary surgery.

• Durable construction ensures reliability in the most demanding surgical procedures.
