Doyen Rib Raspatory

The Doyen Rib Raspatory is recognizable by its unique spiral-shaped “pigtail” blade and heavy, ergonomic hollow bulb handle.

• The Blade: The sharp inner edge of the curve is designed to hook around the rib bone, allowing the surgeon to “strip” tissue away cleanly without breaking the bone or damaging the underlying pleura.

• The Handle: Its bulbous shape provides the surgeon with a firm, non-slip grip, which is necessary for the physical force required to scrape bone.
