Fitzpatrick Tongue Depressors

Fitzpatrick contoured tongue guards, as well as retractors, are manufactured to order in our Glynde workshop.

Available are types 1, 2, 3 and 4 for oral and dental surgeries. Manufactured from surgical-grade non-magnetic stainless steel, these guards are bead-blasted to a smooth matte finish for comfort, or polished to a medium shine upon request.

Needle Holder Reconditioning

We recondition all types of needle holders, replacing carbide inserts, tightening pivots and resetting the ratchet mechanism, giving new life to this ubiquitous surgical tool and saving the cost of purchasing new. Modifications can be made to individual instruments or a set upon request. Call or email for further enquiries.
