The 17 cm Finochietto Rib Spreader Child is a specialized cardiovascular instrument designed for stable and controlled rib separation in pediatric and small-anatomy thoracic procedures. Its carefully scaled dimensions offer adequate exposure while minimizing stress on developing ribs and intercostal tissues.
With an overall length of 17 cm and a smooth ratcheting mechanism, this rib spreader provides a defined spreading profile for pediatric applications. The controlled expansion improves safety and reduces the risk of trauma, allowing the retractor to maintain consistent rib separation once positioned.
Key Features

Its defined working profile is intended for rib separation in pediatric applications.
Design & Function
The Finochietto Rib Spreader features a curved working configuration designed to provide a specialized orientation during thoracic procedures. The smooth ratcheting mechanism can assist in positioning the working end according to the requirements of the operative field.
The 17 cm spreading profile provides a defined rib separation profile, while the 17 cm overall length allows controlled manual positioning. Together, these dimensions provide a practical configuration for pediatric procedures requiring a rib spreader.
Surgical Applications
The 17 cm Finochietto Rib Spreader Child may be used for cardiovascular and thoracic surgery applications involving rib separation. Specific use depends on the surgical procedure, technique, anatomical site, and preference of the clinical team.
Handling & Instrument Care
Inspect the rib spreader before use, paying particular attention to the working end and ratcheting mechanism. Ensure the instrument is properly aligned and free from visible damage or wear before use.
After use, clean and process the instrument according to the manufacturer's validated instructions and the healthcare facility's established instrument-processing protocols. Store the rib spreader appropriately to protect its working end and prevent unnecessary contact with other instruments.
