1:1 Tomati Struycken x = 120 mm – 43/4 “

The straight working axis suits midline access and procedures where the surgeon’s line of sight aligns with the instrument shaft. Fine longitudinal serrations provide reliable grip on tissue and gauze without excess crush pressure. Supplied from the Fizza Surgical instrument catalogue as the serrated, straight 135mm (Ref NF 15-100-01).

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.

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.
