Farabeuf Periosteal Raspatory Curved

The curve angles the working tip away from the line of sight, the standard geometry for dissection in confined fields. Supplied from the Fizza Surgical instrument catalogue as the Farabeuf Periosteal Raspatory Curved.

Louis Hubert Farabeuf, a nineteenth-century French anatomist and surgeon, lent his name to the simple double-ended hand retractor that remains a workhorse of general and orthopaedic surgery. Farabeuf retractors are sold in pairs — a left and right with identical curved blades on each end of a flat handle. Sizes are described by blade length: 12 cm, 14 cm, 15 cm. An assistant holds the retractor to expose superficial tissues during wound exploration, hernia repair, vascular access, and orthopaedic open reduction. The Farabeuf’s elegance is its simplicity: no ratchets, no springs, no moving parts to fail. Just two ergonomic blades on a sturdy stainless handle that outlasts most other instruments in the tray.

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.
