Castroviejo 80 mm 8 cm Measuring instruments

Castroviejo 80 mm 8 cm Measuring instruments (Ref DI 01-420-01) — supplied from the Fizza Surgical instrument catalogue.

Ramón Castroviejo y Briones, a Spanish-American ophthalmic surgeon in New York from the 1920s onward, pioneered modern corneal transplantation. His name attaches to a family of microsurgical instruments — Castroviejo needle holders, scissors, and forceps — distinguished by spring-action handles (no finger rings), fine tips, and overall lengths optimized for the surgeon working under microscope. Castroviejo scissors are used in corneal and conjunctival cuts, microvascular anastomosis, and nerve repair. Tungsten carbide tips are standard in professional-grade variants. Lengths of 9 cm, 10 cm, and 11 cm cover ophthalmic, plastic, and microsurgical applications. The squeeze-to-cut handle permits much finer control than scissor finger-rings during microsurgery.

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.
