Frequently asked questions
Is this rib spreader made of medical-grade stainless steel?
Yes, the Sklar Burford-Finochietto Rib Spreader is constructed from high-quality stainless steel. This material is chosen for its exceptional durability, resistance to corrosion, and its ability to withstand the repeated cycles of sterilization required in demanding surgical environments.
Can this instrument be safely sterilized for repeated use?
Absolutely. This is a reusable surgical instrument specifically engineered for durability. As it arrives non-sterile, it is designed to be fully processed through standard facility sterilization protocols before its first use and between all subsequent surgical procedures.
Does this spreader contain any natural rubber latex?
No, this product is not made with natural rubber latex. It is safe for use in clinical settings where patients or staff may have latex sensitivities.
What is the benefit of the CensiTrac marking?
The CensiTrac marking indicates that the instrument is optimized for integration with tracking systems. This allows surgical facilities to manage their inventory more efficiently, improve asset utilization, and ensure rigorous documentation for sterilization and usage cycles.
Is this product suitable for government-contracted facilities?
Yes, this instrument is TAA compliant (Trade Agreements Act). This makes it an ideal choice for government procurement needs, including facilities that require equipment manufactured in approved TAA countries.
How does the retraction mechanism perform during surgery?
The spreader features a precision-engineered ratchet locking mechanism with a lever handle. This allows for incremental, controlled spreading of the blades, ensuring the instrument maintains steady and reliable retraction throughout cardiothoracic procedures.
Is this instrument designed for specialized thoracic surgery?
Yes, the Burford-Finochietto configuration is specifically designed for thoracic and cardiothoracic surgical procedures. Its blade configuration and mechanical leverage are tailored to provide the steady, unobstructed access required for rib cage retraction.
Are there modular components included with the spreader?
Yes, the system includes essential components for versatile application, specifically labeled ‘L’ and ‘R’ (Left and Right) bracket attachments. These modular pieces help ensure proper alignment and stability during the retraction process.
