Finochietto (original model) rib spreader adult 203.0mm x 184.0mm x 64.0mm x 44.0mm

Controlled Rib Retraction for Access-Focused Surgical Workflows

The Finochietto (original model) rib spreader is an adult surgical spreader designed to separate ribs and maintain working access during procedures that require controlled retraction. Its defined adult dimensions provide a substantial instrument profile for cardiovascular workflows and other applicable surgical settings. The design supports organized handling while helping teams maintain a clear operative field during rib-spreading tasks. It may also be incorporated into dental instrument workflows where the instrument is appropriate to the approved procedural setup. By providing a dedicated spreading function, it helps keep retraction tasks coordinated and reduces reliance on improvised methods.

Use Cases

• Use for controlled rib retraction during cardiovascular surgical workflows requiring access through the thoracic region.
• Support positioning and maintenance of rib separation while the surgical team performs its assigned procedural tasks.
• In dental workflows, use only where the rib spreader is included in the approved procedural setup and facility protocol.
• Incorporate into instrument handling sequences where a dedicated spreader is required for organized tissue-access management.

Specifications

Care & Reprocessing

• Clean and reprocess the instrument according to the facility's validated protocols and the applicable instructions for use.
• Inspect the spreading mechanism and contact surfaces before and after use for visible soil, damage, or restricted movement.
• Handle the spreader carefully to protect its working surfaces and mechanism from impact or unnecessary force.
• Store in a clean, protected area with instruments arranged to prevent contact damage.
