Sialkot at MEDICA: Pakistan's instrument makers - Tata Surgical at MEDICA 2026, Düsseldorf

Sialkot, a city in Punjab, Pakistan, is one of the world’s largest centres for making surgical and dental instruments. Many of the reusable steel instruments used in hospitals worldwide are forged, ground and polished there. Every year, Sialkot companies travel to MEDICA to meet buyers in person.

A long tradition

Sialkot’s instrument industry began more than a century ago, repairing and then making instruments for hospitals. Skills have passed down through families of craftsmen. Today the city has hundreds of instrument makers, from small workshops to large exporters with their own clean rooms and sterile packing.

What Sialkot is known for

  • General surgery instruments: scissors, forceps, needle holders, retractors
  • Dental and orthodontic instruments
  • Ophthalmic micro-instruments
  • Single-use instruments for clinics and procedure kits
  • Veterinary instruments
  • OEM and private label production for global brands

Why meet Sialkot makers at MEDICA?

  • Compare many suppliers in one trip. Many Pakistani exhibitors are grouped together.
  • Check quality in person. Hold the instruments and see the finish.
  • Talk directly to the owners. Many Sialkot firms are family businesses where the decision makers come to the fair.
  • Plan a factory visit. MEDICA is a good first step before visiting Sialkot.
