Questions

Thoracic FAQs

What is a Finochietto retractor?

It is a rack-and-pinion rib spreader that holds the ribs apart to give access to the chest during thoracic surgery.

Why are DeBakey forceps used in vascular work?

DeBakey forceps have atraumatic jaws with fine grooves that hold vessels and delicate tissue securely without crushing them.

Do you supply long-pattern instruments?

Yes. Many scissors, forceps and needle holders are available in longer lengths for deep thoracic work.

Can I order by catalogue code?

Yes. Every instrument has a catalogue code (for example SC-GI/035). Send us a list of codes, names or a photo of your tray and we will confirm availability and pricing, usually within one working day.

Can you build a complete set for this specialty?

Yes. We can match an existing tray list or help you put together a new set, supplied with every instrument labelled so it is easy to check and re-order.
