Small Fragment Orthopedic Set

Web referenceTGI-C-02E789B0Quote this to us. It identifies this page, not a factory part number.

Built around the smaller screw and plate sizes and their matching drill bits, taps and guides, sized for bones such as the forearm bones and fibula and for smaller fracture fragments, rather than the larger-diameter instrumentation of a large fragment set.

An orthopedic instrument set is a group of separate orthopedic hand instruments packaged together in a tray, cassette or roll for one stage of bone surgery, rather than a single article in its own right. A general or basic set draws from a standard list (a periosteal elevator, bone-cutting or rongeur forceps, an osteotome and mallet, a bone curette, and a bone-holding forceps or retractor), while a set built for one procedure, such as fracture fixation or joint replacement, adds or drops instruments to match it. Piece count and exact composition are set by the order rather than by one fixed trade standard; each piece is stainless steel, the same construction as when sold separately.

How it is built

  • Packaged as a group in a tray, cassette or roll rather than sold as one article
  • General/basic sets draw from a standard instrument list: periosteal elevator, bone-cutting/rongeur forceps, osteotome, mallet, bone curette, bone-holding forceps, retractor
  • Procedure-specific sets (fracture, joint, spine) add or drop instruments to match the procedure
  • Piece count and exact instrument mix are set per order, not fixed industry-wide
  • Individual pieces are stainless steel, the same construction as when sold separately

Why this article has no size range

This is supplied as a set: a fixed list of instruments in a tray, cassette or pouch. A set is defined by which instruments it contains and how many of each, not by a manufactured length, so no size range is published for it. Tell us the list you need and we will quote against it.

This describes the orthopedic instrument set as an article. 1 other article in this catalog shares it: the sentence above is what separates this one. This describes the article. The steel, the finish and the inspection step are set by the line you order.

This is the steel each line is made from as standard. A different origin can be supplied on request (a lower grade in Japanese steel, for example), agreed on your order.

Premium is the line where the choice is yours: 420 or 440C, agreed on your order. Economy is always 410 and Executive is always 440C. Those three are the instrument steels. Hollowware and sterilization containers are made in AISI 202 on a Clinical order and AISI 304 on a Premium or Executive one, and they are not offered in the Economy line at all, which is the section above.

The five grades, side by side, and what each one is for

True of every order

Instruments are marked to the buyer's requirement (TGI, unmarked, or the buyer's own brand), agreed on the order.

Customized packaging is part of what TGI supplies. Your own printed boxes, your labels, your brand on the pack, or plain export packing, whichever your market needs. The packing for your order is agreed with you and confirmed on the order.

Manufactured under the quality management system covered by TGI's ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 13485:2016 certificates. Certificate numbers and the issuer's registry are on the certification page. Open the certificates

Every batch of steel is ordered to a specified grade and arrives with the mill's own certificate, which identifies the mill and states the grade. TGI checks the material at the factory against its own requirement before it goes into production. That check is TGI's own inspection, not an independent laboratory test.

TGI manufactures in its own factory in Sialkot and also supplies articles made by contracted partner workshops, to TGI's specification. Which applies to a given article is confirmed on your order.

One-year guarantee on Premium and Executive tier instruments, hollowware and sterilization containers: any technical manufacturing defect, including material faults and rust, is replaced free of charge. Damage from handling or accidents is not covered. The year runs from the day the goods leave Sialkot.

If something is wrong with a delivery (a manufacturing defect, or a short or wrong article), tell us on WhatsApp within 7 days of delivery, with a video and photographs of what arrived. Replacement instruments are sent free of charge and dispatched within 24 hours of us seeing them; you pay the shipping, and they reach you as a normal order does.

Damage that happened after the goods left Sialkot is a claim against your carrier. The video of your parcel at the shipping office is sent to you before shipment and is the evidence that claim needs.
