The Matson rib rasp is a double‑ended instrument used to smooth rib surfaces during sternotomy closure or rib osteoplasty in cardiac surgery. Both ends feature rasp surfaces that efficiently reduce rib projections and sharp edges that could impinge on cardiac structures or cause postoperative discomfort. The 222mm length provides adequate reach for mid‑ and posterior rib exposure.
