The adaptable standard for multi-patient thoracic access. The Price Thomas Rib Spreader Set is a comprehensive surgical solution designed to provide precise and stable costal retraction across a wide clinical spectrum. Unlike fixed-blade models, this set acts as a mechanical necessity for surgical departments requiring a single, high-performance instrument capable of adapting to varying patient sizes and chest wall depths. Featuring a heavy-duty frame and three interchangeable blade pairs, this system ensures optimal exposure of the thoracic cavity while providing the specific blade geometry required to minimize periosteal trauma and ensure patient safety.
[Add to Cart – Professional Thoracic Series]
The Price Thomas Rib Spreader Set is the "workhorse" of the modern operating theater. Its primary utility lies in its modularity; by offering three distinct blade depths, it eliminates the need for maintaining multiple individual retractors. This set allows the surgeon to select the shallow 68mm blades for thin-frame patients or the deep 250mm blades for complex, high-access thoracic reconstructions in larger adults.
Designed for the rigorous demands of cardiothoracic departments and trauma centers, the set is fully autoclavable and built for clinical longevity. The precision-machined gears and secure blade-locking mechanism ensure that the instrument remains a reliable, steady platform for even the most prolonged surgical interventions.

Primary Use Cases:
Q: Are the blades easy to swap during surgery?
A: Yes. The set is designed with a secure yet quick-release mechanism that allows blades to be interchanged in seconds, provided the tension on the frame is released.
Q: Which blade size is best for a standard adult thoracotomy?
A: This depends entirely on the patient's BMI and the specific intercostal space being accessed. Usually, the 215mm blades serve as the "standard" adult size, while the 250mm is reserved for larger patients or posterior approaches.
Q: How do I maintain the blade attachment points?
A: Ensure the locking slots on the frame and the attachment tangs on the blades are cleared of all biological debris using an ultrasonic cleaner. Apply a drop of surgical-grade lubricant to the gear track and the blade locks before every autoclave cycle.
Q: Can I purchase replacement blades separately?
A: Yes, individual blade pairs can usually be ordered if one becomes damaged or misplaced, ensuring your set remains complete and functional for years to come.
