Alexander Rib Raspatories
Size: 210 mm, 10 mm
Alexander Rib Raspatory is commonly utilized in some cardiothoracic procedures. It features two scoop shaped heads, one small and one large, on opposing ends of the instrument. This raspatory can be useful in procedures where surgical approaches require entry through regions where it is necessary to go through the ribs or to enlarge certain openings to allow easier access to the surgical field. Its overall length is 210 mm.
The Alexander Rib Raspatory is a specialized thoracic surgical instrument designed for precision rib elevation, shaping, and exposure during tracheotomy, cardiovascular, and thoracic surgery procedures. Manufactured under the trusted SMS brand and distributed globally by NAZMED SMS SDN BHD, this instrument is engineered for superior control, ergonomic handling, and long-lasting durability.
This raspatory is widely used in thoracic surgeries for carefully lifting periosteum and preparing ribs for resection or reconstruction. Its refined curvature and smooth edges reduce trauma to surrounding tissue while allowing surgeons to work efficiently in confined spaces. Whether in major cardiothoracic centers or specialized surgical units, the Alexander Rib Raspatory is an essential tool for safe, precise outcomes.
