Doyen Gynaecological Scissors — Straight

A straight shaft simplifies handling in open-cavity work where the surgeon approaches the target along a clear line. The Doyen Gynaecological Scissors — Straight ships under reference SC 02-145-00.

Eugène-Louis Doyen, a French surgeon active in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, contributed several instrument designs to the surgical canon. Doyen retractors come in two main types: the rib raspatory used in thoracic surgery to elevate the periosteum from a rib, and the abdominal retractor used during laparotomy. The rib raspatory pattern is asymmetric — left and right variants — with a curved blade that follows the rib’s profile. The abdominal Doyen has a broad curved blade that retracts viscera during exploration. Both patterns remain in use; the rib raspatory is a standard thoracic instrument used during open thoracotomy where minimally invasive approaches are not feasible.

Sialkot has been the world’s primary cluster for surgical-instrument manufacturing since the late nineteenth century, when local steel workshops began supplying instruments to British military and civilian hospitals. Fizza Surgical’s facility continues that tradition, combining workshop craftsmanship with the metallurgy and quality systems modern medical regulation requires. Fizza products are exhibited at international medical-device trade fairs in Europe, the Middle East, and North America.
