Rib Retractor Device
The primary purpose of a rib retractor is to temporarily separate the ribs and keep them in an open position, allowing the surgeon to visualize and operate on the organs or structures beneath them.
Description
A rib retractor is a surgical instrument used in thoracic or abdominal surgeries to hold the ribs apart and provide access to the underlying organs or structures. It is commonly used in procedures such as thoracotomy, lung surgery, heart surgery, and certain abdominal surgeries.
Rib retractors come in various designs, but they generally consist of a frame with two or more arms that can be adjusted to spread the ribs apart to the desired width. The arms of the retractor are typically curved or angled to conform to the shape of the ribcage and minimize the risk of injury to the surrounding tissues.
