Mathieu Foreign body forceps, x = 200 mm – 8 ” Instruments for urology

Mathieu Foreign body forceps, x = 200 mm – 8 " Instruments for urology (Ref UR 06-110-01), manufactured at the Fizza Surgical facility in Sialkot, Pakistan.

Mathieu needle holders are distinguished from the standard Mayo-Hegar by their squeeze-action handle design — the ratchet locks when the handles are squeezed together fully, and releases on a further squeeze. This single-handed operation appeals to surgeons working in confined spaces (oral surgery, deep cavity work) where the standard finger-ring Mayo-Hegar is cumbersome. The pattern is named for nineteenth-century French dental surgeon Paul Mathieu who developed it for intraoral suture work. Standard length is 14 cm. Tungsten carbide insert variants extend the working life of the jaw cross-hatching across thousands of autoclave cycles.

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.
