Mayo Straight 25 cm — Posterolateral Thoracotomy

25 cm Mayo straight gives the posterolateral-thoracotomy surgeon working reach across latissimus and serratus muscles into intercostal layers. Sixth-intercostal-space division, latissimus-dorsi muscle splitting, and rhomboid-trapezius-fascia opening all run on this length. Long enough to span chest-wall thickness, blunt enough to not penetrate parietal pleura prematurely.
