Before dispatch, every Scala instrument is inspected, laser marked and passivated, giving it a clean, finished surface and added protection against corrosion.
Burford Rib Spreader Aluminium Adult with 2 Pairs of Blades (Arm Length: 200mm) (Opening Width: 200mm)
The Burford Rib Spreader Aluminium Adult is a self retaining thoracic retraction instrument designed to provide controlled and stable separation of the ribs during chest and cardiothoracic procedures. The ratchet mechanism allows gradual and precise opening to maintain consistent exposure of the operative field without the need for manual holding, supporting efficient and controlled surgical workflow. Manufactured from lightweight aluminium, the instrument reduces handling fatigue while maintaining the structural strength required for adult thoracic use. Supplied with two interchangeable pairs of blades, the rib spreader can be adapted to suit different patient anatomies and surgical approaches. With an arm length of 200mm and a maximum opening width of 200mm, it provides controlled access to the thoracic cavity where more compact retraction is required. The instrument is suitable for repeated cleaning and sterilisation and is intended for use in operating theatres where reliable and stable rib retraction is essential.
These are re-usable, non-sterile medical devices (unless otherwise stated).
