Fizza Surgical supplies the SMITH-PETERSEN x =9 mm 200mm 20cm (Ref BS 14-255-02) as a standard catalogue line to hospitals and distributors.

Marius Smith-Petersen, a Norwegian-American orthopaedic surgeon at Massachusetts General, developed the hip nail for femoral neck fracture fixation in the 1920s — a technique that defined modern hip fracture surgery for fifty years. His name attaches to a family of orthopaedic instruments including bone gouges, chisels, and osteotomes used today in hip arthroplasty, fracture fixation, and bone graft harvest. Smith-Petersen patterns are heavy robust instruments designed for cortical bone work; they remain standard in orthopaedic open-procedure sets. Tungsten carbide or hardened stainless cutting edges are standard in professional-grade variants.

Manufacturing compliance is verified through ISO 13485:2016 certification (the international medical-device quality standard), CE marking under EU MDR 2017/745, and FDA establishment registration. Certificate copies and regulatory documentation are available on request for inclusion in hospital procurement files and EU technical documentation packages. Sterilization validation follows ISO 17665 for steam autoclave at 134 °C.
