The Ronald Edwards Rib Spreader is a robust, self-retaining thoracic retractor specifically designed to provide maximal, stable exposure of the thoracic cavity during open-heart and major lung surgeries. Its broad, curved blades are carefully engineered to fit securely against the ribs, distributing pressure evenly to minimize the risk of rib fracture. The heavy-duty ratcheting mechanism allows for controlled, incremental opening and secure locking, creating an optimal and unobstructed surgical field for the cardiac or thoracic surgical team.

Key Features:

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

  • Designed to provide wide, stable exposure of the heart and lungs for median sternotomy or thoracotomy.

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

  • Heavy-duty construction from surgical stainless steel ensures reliability in demanding procedures.

  • Minimizes rib trauma and slippage during prolonged cardiac or pulmonary operations.

  • A cornerstone instrument for cardiothoracic surgery suites.
