Long, heavy blades curved on the flat with blunt rounded tips rather than sharp points, sized to reach tissue deep in the pelvis.
Hysterectomy scissors are heavy curved scissors used to cut the parametrium and vaginal cuff during hysterectomy. The blades are thicker than a Metzenbaum scissor of the same length and end in rounded, blunt tips, letting the scissor run along a tissue plane without catching.

Material and quality
| Line | Steel | Origin | Finish | Inspection |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Economy line | AISI 410 | Pakistani or Taiwanese | satin, passivated | sample: visual + dimensional |
| Clinical line | AISI 420 | Pakistani or German | satin, passivated | sample + boil test |
| Premium line | AISI 420-440C | German or Japanese | fine polish, passivated | tighter sample + hardness test |
| Executive line | AISI 440C | German or Japanese | mirror polish, passivated | 100% inspection + laser mark |
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.
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.

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.
