Wells Rib Spreader

The Wells Rib Spreader is a self-retaining thoracic retractor designed to separate ribs and provide sustained, wide access to the thoracic cavity during open chest surgeries such as thoracotomy, lobectomy, and cardiac procedures. Its ratcheted mechanism allows for gradual, controlled opening, and its broad, curved blades help distribute pressure evenly to minimize the risk of rib fracture. Renowned for its reliability and strength, it is a fundamental instrument in cardiothoracic and trauma surgery for creating an optimal operative field.
