Device Description

A self-locking surgical instrument designed to force apart the surgically-split sternum (the breastbone) to permit surgical cardiac intervention within the thoracic cavity. This device will typically have two interchangeable profiled, pivoted blades (self-adjusting their angle as the instrument is opened) at the distal end that hook over the margins of the severed sternum, and a ratchet mechanism along its horizontal bar to adjust the blades, parting the sternum and maintain its set position once it has been set. It is also known as a sternum retractor and is available in various designs and sizes. It is made of high-grade stainless steel. This is a reusable device.
