Our product photos show instruments before final production.
Before dispatch, every Scala instrument is inspected, laser marked and passivated, giving it a clean, finished surface and added protection against corrosion.
Castaneda Rib Spreader Aluminium Child (Blade Width x Blade Depth: 150 x 600mm) (Arm Length: 130mm) (Opening Width: 1200mm)
The Castaneda Rib Spreader Aluminium Child is a self retaining thoracic retraction instrument designed to provide controlled and stable rib separation during paediatric cardiac and thoracic surgical procedures. The instrument allows gradual and precise opening to maintain consistent exposure of the operative field without continuous manual retraction, supporting accuracy and procedural control in the operating theatre. Manufactured from lightweight aluminium, it reduces handling weight while maintaining the strength and stability required for paediatric applications. The blade profile is designed to engage the ribs securely while distributing force evenly to minimise localised stress during retraction. With a blade width and depth of 150 x 600mm, an arm length of 130mm, and a maximum opening width of 1200mm, the instrument is intended to accommodate the specific anatomical and access requirements encountered in paediatric thoracic surgery. The Castaneda Rib Spreader is suitable for repeated cleaning and steam sterilisation and is used in clinical environments where dependable, stable rib retraction is essential.
These are re-usable, non-sterile medical devices (unless otherwise stated).
