SMITH-PETERSEN x =13 mm 200mm 20cm (Ref BS 14-255-03), manufactured at the Fizza Surgical facility in Sialkot, Pakistan.

Marius Smith-Petersen, a Norwegian-American orthopaedic surgeon at Massachusetts General, developed the hip nail for femoral neck fracture fixation in the 1920s — a technique that defined modern hip fracture surgery for fifty years. His name attaches to a family of orthopaedic instruments including bone gouges, chisels, and osteotomes used today in hip arthroplasty, fracture fixation, and bone graft harvest. Smith-Petersen patterns are heavy robust instruments designed for cortical bone work; they remain standard in orthopaedic open-procedure sets. Tungsten carbide or hardened stainless cutting edges are standard in professional-grade variants.

Fizza Surgical International has manufactured surgical instruments at its Sialkot, Pakistan facility since 1980 — more than four decades of continuous operation under one family ownership. The factory holds ISO 13485:2016 certification for medical devices and CE marking under EU MDR 2017/745, the regulatory baseline European hospitals and distributors require. FDA establishment registration covers exports to the United States.
