DeBakey (Mini-Finochietto) rib spreader, infant 86.0mm x 60.0mm x 19.0mm x 16.0mm curved arms

Compact Rib Spreader for Controlled Access in Small-Scale Procedures

The DeBakey (Mini-Finochietto) rib spreader is a compact surgical retractor designed to separate ribs and help maintain access within a confined operative field. Its infant configuration and curved arms support focused placement where a smaller instrument profile is appropriate, while the defined 86.0mm x 60.0mm x 19.0mm x 16.0mm dimensions help teams select it for space-conscious handling. The spreader can support procedural workflows across cardiovascular and dental surgical applications where controlled retraction and a clear working area are required. Its straightforward design helps clinicians position, adjust, and remove the instrument with deliberate handling during the procedure.

Use Cases

• Support controlled rib retraction during cardiovascular surgical procedures involving a small operative field.
• Assist with maintaining access and visualization when a compact spreader is appropriate for infant-sized anatomy.
• Provide focused retraction support in dental surgical settings where access around a confined field is needed.
• Use as part of a deliberate exposure workflow when curved arms can help maintain instrument placement around the retracted area.

Specifications

Care & Handling

• Clean the spreader according to facility procedures and the applicable instrument-care instructions.
• Inspect the curved arms and moving components before and after use for visible soil, damage, or restricted movement.
• Handle the instrument carefully to preserve alignment and avoid impact with other instruments during cleaning, transport, or storage.
• Store in a manner that protects the curved arms and keeps the instrument ready for controlled handling.

General use; follow facility protocols.
