Sellors Rib Approximator & Spreaders

The Sellors Rib Approximator & Spreader is a versatile and essential thoracic surgery instrument that serves a dual function in rib fracture management and chest wall procedures. Primarily, it functions as a powerful spreader to gently separate ribs, providing critical access to the thoracic cavity for surgeries like thoracotomy. In its secondary role, the instrument can be reversed to act as a sturdy approximator, pulling fractured rib ends together for stable alignment and fixation. This dual-purpose design streamlines the surgical process for trauma and cardiothoracic surgeons.

Key Features:

• Dual-function design: serves as both a rib spreader for access and a rib approximator for fracture reduction.

• Strong, curved blades securely engage ribs for controlled spreading or closing.

• Ratchet mechanism allows for incremental adjustment and secure locking in both modes.

• Essential for procedures involving rib fractures, thoracotomy, and chest wall reconstruction.

• Reduces the need for multiple instruments, improving efficiency in trauma and thoracic surgery.

• Robust construction ensures reliable performance in demanding surgical environments.
