Cooley rib spreader 140.0mm x 110.0mm x 35.0mm x 30.0mm, aluminum

Controlled Rib Retraction for Clearer Procedural Access

The Cooley rib spreader is a surgical retraction instrument designed to separate ribs and help maintain access within the operative field. Its aluminum construction supports a practical balance of strength and manageable handling, while the 140.0mm x 110.0mm x 35.0mm x 30.0mm configuration provides a defined working profile for positioning and retraction. In cardiovascular procedures, it can support access during thoracic exposure; in dental applications, it may be considered where a spreader is appropriate within the broader surgical workflow. Its focused design helps teams organize exposure while maintaining deliberate instrument control.

Use Cases

• Support rib retraction during cardiovascular thoracic procedures where controlled operative access is required.
• Assist with maintaining exposure within a thoracic surgical field during cardiovascular workflows.
• Support dental surgical workflows when a rib spreader is appropriate to the planned procedure and facility technique.
• Provide a dedicated spreading instrument for teams organizing access and retraction during applicable surgical procedures.
