Finochietto rib spreader, infant 70.0mm x 55.0mm x 15.0mm x 12.0mm

Compact rib retraction for infant-focused surgical workflows

The Finochietto rib spreader is an infant-sized surgical retraction instrument designed to help maintain rib separation during procedures requiring access through the thoracic area. Its compact 70.0mm x 55.0mm x 15.0mm x 12.0mm configuration provides a space-conscious format for teams working with small anatomy and instrument sets. By supporting consistent retraction rather than relying on manual holding, it can help keep attention on the operative field and surrounding workflow. The instrument may be relevant to cardiovascular applications and, where specified by local practice, dental surgical settings requiring this named spreader family. Use should follow facility protocols and the applicable IFU.

Use Cases

• Support rib retraction during cardiovascular procedures when the instrument is selected for the operative approach.
• Provide a compact spreader format for workflows involving infant-sized anatomy and access requirements.
• Assist with maintaining separation during thoracic surgical handling while the operative team works within the exposed field.
• In dental surgical settings, incorporate the instrument only where the established procedure and facility protocol call for this spreader family.
