Doyen Rib Raspatory, Left Curved, 17 cm / 7 inch, available in Adult and Children sizes.
The left curved counterpart to our right curved Doyen Rib Raspatory, this 17 cm instrument completes a matched pair for thoracic procedures where rib stripping is required from either direction. It is available in adult and children sizes.
Left curved blade shaped to match the rib’s contour from the opposite approach
17 cm length, consistent with its right curved counterpart for matched handling
Adult and children sizing options to accommodate different patient anatomy
Rounded working edge intended to lift periosteum cleanly away from the rib surface
This raspatory is part of our bone surgery instruments range, and it exists specifically because rib anatomy is not symmetrical from the surgeon’s point of view. A single curve cannot serve both directions of stripping equally well, which is why left and right patterns are typically stocked side by side.
Whether the approach calls for stripping along the superior or inferior rib margin, having the correctly curved raspatory on the tray means the surgeon is not adapting technique to the instrument. Pediatric sizing extends its use into smaller thoracic cases without requiring a separate adult-only tray. Complete your thoracic instrument set today.
