How this list was compiled

This is an editorial selection of companies listed in the SurgiFacts.com directory, whose details were checked against their official websites.

We used the following criteria:

• The company is listed in the directory as a manufacturer (companies with other business types are included only where noted).
• Its products are relevant to surgical or dental instruments.
• It has a verified official website.
• Its established year is shown where the company publishes one.

Inclusion is not an endorsement. Always confirm products, specifications and regulatory documentation directly with the company before ordering.
