Reverdin 150mm-6″ Suture instruments

Reverdin 150mm-6" Suture instruments — supplied from the Fizza Surgical instrument catalogue.

Jacques-Louis Reverdin, a nineteenth-century Swiss surgeon, lent his name to the suture needle pattern with the closing eyelet at the tip — a design that lets the surgeon thread the needle after insertion through tissue rather than before. The Reverdin needle is used in fascial closure, where threading a conventional needle through deep tissue is awkward. The pattern remains in clinical use in abdominal closure, hernia repair, and orthopaedic ligament repair. The defining feature is the spring-loaded eyelet near the point that closes around the suture after passage through tissue. Modern Reverdin needles are manufactured from medical-grade stainless steel and are autoclavable for repeat use.

Every instrument is forged, machined, and finished at the Sialkot facility from German-origin stainless billet — austenitic 304 / 316 grades for non-cutting, mucosal-contact, and hollow-ware lines where corrosion resistance is the priority, martensitic 420 / 440 grades for cutting and edge-retention patterns where heat-treatable hardness matters, and 17-4 PH precipitation-hardened stainless for high-load orthopedic and implant-handling applications. Polishing, passivation, and final inspection are performed in-house under documented quality procedures aligned with ISO 13485:2016.
