Which city in Pakistan is best for sourcing surgical instruments?

Sialkot is the global capital for surgical instrument manufacturing, producing over 95% of Pakistan's surgical exports. Sialkot manufacturers specialize in: forceps, scissors, clamps, needle holders, scalpels, retractors, and specialty instruments. Many Sialkot factories hold FDA registration and CE certification, supplying hospitals and distributors worldwide. The city has over 3,000 surgical instrument manufacturers ranging from small workshops to large ISO-certified factories. For EU markets, Sialkot surgical instruments benefit from GSP+ duty-free access. Key tip: Always verify FDA Import Alert 76-01 compliance—only Green List manufacturers can export to the USA without detention.
