Strandell-Stille Retractors

Reference RT 11-265-00: Strandell-Stille Retractors, supplied from the Fizza Surgical instrument catalogue.

Stille is both an eponym and a manufacturer name from Swedish surgical instrument tradition; many patterns developed by the Stille company or by surgeons associated with it bear the Stille name. The Stille bone-cutting forceps, Stille rongeur, and Stille-Luer bone forceps are all standard heavy-bone instruments used in orthopaedic open-procedure sets. The patterns share a heavy robust construction and double-action joint geometry that provides mechanical advantage for cutting hard cortical bone. Modern Stille-family instruments are typically made from hardened tool-grade stainless with tungsten carbide cutting edges in professional-grade variants. Lengths of 23 cm, 27 cm, and 32 cm are standard.

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.
