Haight Rib Spreader 30 x 30 mm (115 mm Spread)
Features and Description:
The Haight Rib Spreader delivers precise and controlled rib retraction during thoracic procedures. Surgeons rely on this compact instrument, especially in pediatric and small-incision surgeries, because it provides excellent exposure while minimizing trauma to delicate ribs and surrounding tissue.
Unlike larger rib spreaders, the Haight model offers targeted retraction. As a result, surgeons gain optimal visibility without overextending the intercostal space.
Key Features
- Precision Rack-and-Pinion Mechanism: The smooth crank system allows surgeons to apply gradual, controlled tension. In addition, the secure locking system maintains consistent retraction throughout the procedure.
- Compact Blade Design: The 30 x 30 mm blades grip ribs firmly and prevent slippage. Therefore, surgeons maintain stable exposure at all times.
- Ergonomic Handling: The streamlined frame improves handling and reduces obstruction in the operative field.
- Satin Finish: The matte surface reduces glare under operating lights, which improves visibility during long procedures.
- Premium Stainless Steel Construction: We manufacture this instrument from German-grade stainless steel to ensure durability, corrosion resistance, and long service life. Furthermore, the spreader withstands repeated autoclave sterilization cycles without compromising performance.

Primary Applications
Surgeons frequently use the Haight Rib Spreader in:
- Pediatric Thoracic Surgery, where controlled and smaller retraction is essential.
- Neonatal and Infant Cardiovascular Procedures, which require delicate rib separation.
- Limited Thoracotomy Approaches, particularly when precise and localized exposure is needed.
Why Choose the Haight Rib Spreader?
The Haight Rib Spreader fills the gap between micro-retractors and full-sized adult rib spreaders. Because of its compact 115 mm spread capacity and balanced blade dimensions, it offers both strength and precision. Consequently, surgical teams achieve reliable exposure while reducing unnecessary strain on the chest wall.
