Finochietto rib spreader, newborn 54.0mm x 52.0mm x 16.0mm x 13.0mm

Controlled Rib Separation for Focused Surgical Access

The Finochietto rib spreader is a newborn-size surgical spreader used to separate ribs and help maintain access within the operative field. Its compact 54.0mm x 52.0mm x 16.0mm x 13.0mm configuration supports handling where a smaller instrument profile is appropriate. By helping hold the ribs apart during procedures, it can contribute to a clearer working area and more consistent instrument positioning. The spreader is suited to professional workflows requiring careful access and controlled tissue handling, including cardiovascular procedures and relevant dental surgical settings where this instrument family is selected according to the procedure and facility protocol.

Use Cases

• Separate and maintain rib spacing during newborn cardiovascular procedures requiring access to the thoracic operative field.
• Support controlled exposure while surgical personnel work within a confined field.
• Use as part of a coordinated instrument setup for procedures requiring a compact rib-spreading profile.
• Include in relevant dental surgical workflows only when the procedure and facility protocol call for this type of spreader.
• Position and handle carefully to support stable access without using the instrument for unintended leverage or tasks.
