Tuffier Rib Spreaders are classic, self-retaining thoracic retractors used to provide wide, stable exposure of the chest cavity during open-heart and major lung surgeries via a median sternotomy. Their design features broad, curved blades that securely engage the sternal edges, distributing retraction force to minimize the risk of rib fracture. The heavy-duty 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), valve surgery, and mediastinal explorations.

Key Features:

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

  • Provides maximal, stable exposure of the heart and mediastinum for cardiac surgery.

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

  • Heavy-duty construction ensures reliability in demanding procedures.

  • Designed to distribute force and minimize trauma to the sternum.

  • A cornerstone instrument in cardiothoracic surgery suites.

Gain critical exposure for heart surgery with the reliable strength of Tuffier Rib Spreaders from Medic Instrument.
