Brass Ear Tag Applicator

Reference VT 801: Brass Ear Tag Applicator, supplied from the Fizza Surgical instrument catalogue.

Forceps are the most numerous instrument family in any general-surgery tray — a class that spans hemostatic clamps, tissue-grasping instruments, dressing forceps, and specialty patterns developed for specific anatomical regions. Modern forceps design hasn’t changed fundamentally since the late nineteenth century: a box-lock joint, finger-ring handles, ratcheted closure, and working jaws shaped for the intended tissue type. What separates a workhorse pattern from a specialty instrument is the jaw geometry — toothed or atraumatic, serrated or smooth, straight or curved — and the choice depends on whether the surgeon needs to clamp, grip, manipulate, or simply hold. Fizza Surgical manufactures forceps to ISO 13485:2016 from German-grade AISI 420 stainless steel, with tungsten-carbide tip inserts available on premium variants.

Every instrument is forged, machined, and finished at the Sialkot facility from German-origin stainless billet — austenitic 304 / 316 grades for non-cutting and corrosion-priority lines, martensitic 420 / 440 grades for cutting and edge-retention patterns. Polishing, passivation, and final inspection are performed in-house under the ISO 13485:2016 quality-management system. Sialkot has been the world’s primary surgical-instrument cluster since the late nineteenth century.
