Surgical Instruments

Lot, serial and traceability discipline that satisfies FDA, CE and the toughest medical buyer.

Sialkot makes around half of the world’s hand-made surgical instruments. The buyer is a hospital chain, a distributor or a brand that sells under their name in the US and EU. They demand lot traceability, sterilisation logs, FDA and CE conformance documents, and zero room for mix-ups. Pipetal builds traceability into the product master so every piece has a home, a history and a paper trail.

Where the day breaks

What hurts in Surgical.

These are the friction points the owner already knows. Generic ERPs paper over them. Pipetal handles them by design.

Lot and serial discipline is patchy, traceability fails on first audit
Sterilisation and forging temperature logs live in notebooks, not the system
FDA and CE conformance documents have to be reassembled before every shipment
Forge, machining, polish and EO sterilisation each track scrap separately
Branded private-label orders need their own packing rules that staff forget
Export rejections come back without paperwork that links to original lot

Standout features

What teams in this vertical love most

Lot traceability that survives any audit

Every instrument carries its lot. Forge date, polish date, sterilisation date, packer name. An auditor asks for the chain on serial 47281, you have it in 30 seconds.

FDA and CE paperwork stays attached

Conformance docs ride with the shipment. The buyer does not need to ask. Customs does not need to email. The next shipment does not start over.

Forge to sterilisation in one trail

Each step posts its own scrap, its own labour, its own cost. The owner sees which step is bleeding margin and which polisher is doing the cleanest work.

Built for

Who Surgical fits best.

Questions

Frequently asked

Yes. Lot and serial numbers are mandatory at the production order level. Every issue, every transfer, every sale carries the lot. Forward and backward traceability are both one-click reports.

Every voucher supports file attachments. Tag the certificate to the sale invoice and it travels with the shipment record forever. The next audit pulls it from the same place.
