Platts & Nisbett Coronavirus (COVID-19) Update: -

As our county faces the outbreak of Coronavirus (COVID-19), we would like to reassure our customers that we are doing our best to maintain our high levels of customer service. We are continuing to manufacture our surgical instruments, whilst mitigating the associated risks, and managing the impact of COVID-19.

The safety of our staff is paramount, so we will continually reassess the situation going forward, making the relevant decisions based on the current advice.

We are delighted to announce that Platts & Nisbett Surgical Instruments are now available to purchase in Norway, via our distributor SCP Ortopedi.

SCP Ortopedi focus on close contact with their customers, and attach great importance to being able to provide optimal service at all times. 

They place great emphasis on maintaining an ethically high standard in sales and training, and comply with Eucomed's Code of Ethical Business Practice.

Today is our 43rd Birthday, and we are delighted to be celebrating 43 years of true British Manufacturing!

We would like to take this opportunity to thank all the people who have made this possible.

SPAIRE Hip Instruments are exclusively Made In Britain by Platts & Nisbett.

The SPAIRE technique (Sparing Piriformis And Internus, Repair Externus) involves a muscle sparing posterior approach to the hip. Fewer tendons are damaged using the SPAIRE technique than any other approach to the hip as it involves division (and subsequent repair) of only one small tendon. This technique allows patients to mobilise without any post-operative restriction to their activities.

Platts & Nisbett work with surgeons to build long lasting partnerships for the future. By using their clinical expertise and our manufacturing knowledge we can bring ideas to life, producing surgical instruments of the highest standard. This service was of interest to Mr David Stanley and Mr Deepthi Nandan Adla (Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeons at Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust), who contacted us regarding a new Shoulder and Elbow Revision Kit they wished to develop.

Platts & Nisbett is the only British Surgical Instrument Manufacturer with the official Made in Britain accreditation, and we are proud of it!

The Made in Britain marque is only accredited to businesses who can prove they are selling goods which have been truly manufactured in Britain.

Spire Healthcare has 39 hospitals & 1 specialist cancer centre across the UK. As they purchase Platts & Nisbett surgical instruments they contacted us to see if they could take part in a factory tour to see how the instruments are made. As we are the only UK Surgical Instrument Manufacturer with the official Made In Britain Accreditation, our factory tours are highly recommended. They are a real eye opener to anyone working with surgical instruments, for example SSD Staff, Theatre Staff, Procurement, Surgeons, Nurses etc.
