Quality & manufacturing

Made by hand. Checked by eye and gauge.

Our instruments are made in Sialkot, Pakistan, by an experienced manufacturing partner, and every order is coordinated and followed up by our team in the UK.

How it's made

Five stages to a finished instrument

01

Material

Instruments are made from medical-grade stainless steels chosen for each instrument's job.

02

Forging & machining

Blanks are forged and machined to pattern, then joints and jaws are fitted by hand.

03

Hardening

Heat treatment gives cutting and gripping surfaces the right balance of hardness and toughness.

04

Hand finishing

Grinding, polishing and passivation give a clean, corrosion-resistant finish.

05

Inspection

Instruments are checked for function, alignment, finish and marking before packing.

Quality system & documentation

Evidence, not adjectives

Our manufacturing partner works under an ISO 13485 quality management system. Copies of current certificates and material documentation are available on request for your supplier approval file.

We publish regulatory registrations here only once they are confirmed, so the claims on this page are ones we can back up in writing.
