Hook for screw head – Screw driver

The hooked tip lifts tissue or sutures from below — a specialized geometry for retraction and suture manipulation. Catalogue reference AO 14-250-01.

Orthopaedic trauma calls for a different instrument inventory than elective joint surgery: bone-holding forceps (Lambotte, Lowman, Verbrugge) for fracture fragment stabilization, periosteal elevators for soft-tissue clearance, drill and tap systems for screw placement, plate-bending pliers for implant contouring, and bone reduction clamps to hold the reduction while plates and screws are applied. The instruments are typically heavier than those in elective sets because trauma surgery operates against time pressure with more variable anatomy. Fizza supplies complete orthopaedic trauma sets configured to the AO principles of fracture management, manufactured under ISO 13485:2016 from AISI 440 and 17-4 PH stainless.

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.
