Rasps

This Daniel-Gubisch rib raspatory features a medium curve geometry designed to lift periosteum and rasp bone during cardiac exposure via sternotomy. The curved blade follows the rib contour, allowing controlled separation without excessive periosteal stripping. Stainless-steel construction delivers lasting durability through repeated sternotomy cases and standard sterilization.

Features & Benefits

• Medium curve follows rib contour during separation
• Controlled rasping minimizes surgical periosteal trauma
• 170mm length supports extended sternotomic access
• Stainless-steel durability suits routine cardiac use

This Daniel-Gubisch rib raspatory combines a strong curve geometry with controlled rasping action for rib elevation during deep sternotomy exposure. The aggressive curve design accommodates variable rib angles and promotes efficient bone separation in tight mediastinal access. Stainless-steel construction maintains durability across repeated cardiac and thoracic procedures.

Features & Benefits

• Strong curve geometry suits aggressive rib elevation
• Controlled rasping minimizes periosteal tissue stripping
• 160mm length provides deep mediastinal surgical reach
• Stainless-steel construction ensures lasting surgical durability

This Doyen costal elevator features a straight blade geometry designed to lift and separate ribs during cardiac sternotomy. The hexagonal handle provides secure grip during controlled rasping of periosteum and bone. Stainless steel construction ensures durability through repeated sternotomy exposures and standard sterilization cycles.

Features & Benefits

• Straight blade geometry supports controlled periosteal lift and rib rasping
• Hexagonal handle ensures secure grip during sternotomy exposure
• 171mm length reaches rib bed depth across adult anatomy
• Stainless‑steel construction built for lasting durability across repeated cases

This Doyen rib rasp enables controlled smoothing and beveling of rib edges during median sternotomy or thoracotomy closure. The 171mm length provides adequate working surface to address raw bone without traumatizing adjacent structures. Straight design with fine rasping surface supports atraumatic chest wall repair.

Features & Benefits

• Fine rasping surface for smooth rib edge beveling
• 171mm length positioned for sternal access
• Straight geometry for controlled stripping motion
• Stainless steel withstands repeated sterilization

The Matson rib rasp is designed for controlled rib roughening and debridement during cardiac access procedures such as median sternotomy or thoracotomy. Its rasping geometry efficiently removes periosteal tissue and smooths rib edges, reducing postoperative complications from sharp bone fragments. Stainless‑steel construction ensures reliable performance across repeated cardiac surgical cases.

Features & Benefits

• Rasping geometry removes periosteal tissue during access
• Smoothed bone edges reduce postoperative fragment complications
• Stainless‑steel construction ensures cardiac procedure durability
• Efficient tissue removal optimizes sternal access work

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.

Features & Benefits

• Double‑ended rasp design reduces instrument exchanges
• 222mm overall length for mid‑rib and posterior access
• Rasp surface smooths bony edges and sharp projections
• Stainless‑steel durability supports repeated sterilization
