Description
Morse-Favaloro Rib Spreader
The Morse-Favaloro rib spreader opens the chest to give thoracic and cardiac access. It comes in a single size, in aluminum or stainless steel.
One set of dimensions
It measures B 17, H 22 and C 160 mm. So there is no size to choose, only a material. That keeps ordering simple for a busy department.
What the numbers mean
B gives blade width, while H gives blade depth. Meanwhile, C shows the maximum spread. As a result, you can check the 160 mm span against your usual opening.
Narrow blades, wide spread
A 17 mm blade stays slim for its span. Therefore it suits a narrow intercostal space. Plus, 160 mm of spread still opens a generous working area.
Aluminum versus steel
Pick the aluminum Morse-Favaloro rib spreader for lower weight. Alternatively, stainless steel suits teams who like a solid, heavier frame. Either way, the dimensions stay the same.
Reprocessing Morse-Favaloro rib spreader
Wash the frame and blades by hand, or in a washer your department approves for the material. Then dry every part and look for residue in the moving joints. Finally, keep aluminum versions away from harsh alkaline cleaners.
