Curved, Detachable-Blade Access for Controlled Surgical Exposure

The Harken rib spreader is a surgical spreading instrument designed to help maintain access and visibility by gently holding tissues or wound margins apart during operative work. Its curved arms and four detachable stainless steel blades support adaptable positioning where a shaped profile can help follow the working area. Blade sizes of 260.0mm, 220.0mm, 62.0mm, and 49.0mm provide distinct options for configuring the instrument to the intended task. Suitable for professional workflows across cardiovascular and dental applications, this spreader can support organized instrument handling and efficient changes between blade configurations when procedural access requirements vary.

Use Cases

• Support controlled spreading and exposure during cardiovascular surgical workflows.
• Assist with maintaining access and visibility during dental procedures requiring tissue or wound-margin retraction.
• Select among the four detachable blades to suit the working area and desired reach.
• Use the curved-arm configuration where a shaped profile supports positioning around the operative field.
• Manage blade changes as part of a procedure-specific instrument setup.
