Tudor Rib Spreader Archives

The Tudor Rib Spreader is a robust, self-retaining thoracic retractor designed for providing wide, stable exposure of the chest cavity during major cardiac and pulmonary surgeries via a median sternotomy. Its broad, deep-curved blades are engineered to securely engage the sternal edges, distributing retraction force to minimize the risk of rib fracture. The powerful ratcheting mechanism allows for controlled, incremental opening and secure locking, creating the expansive surgical field essential for complex procedures like coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and valve surgery, ensuring optimal access for the surgical team.

Key Features:

Strong, self-retaining frame with broad, deep-curved blades for secure sternal engagement.
Provides maximal, stable exposure of the heart and mediastinum for cardiac surgery.
Adjustable ratchet mechanism allows for precise, controlled opening and secure locking.
Heavy-duty construction ensures durability and reliability in demanding procedures.
Designed to distribute retraction force evenly, protecting the sternum.
A cornerstone instrument in cardiothoracic surgery for optimal intrathoracic access.
