Description
Snowden Pencer was founded by Leonard Snowden and George Pencer, both specially trained instrument craftsmen who pioneered important technology in the manufacturing of surgical instruments. This technology used tungsten carbide in the working end of an instrument to increase performance and longevity.

In 1951, the two craftsmen collaborated to design the world's first needle holder using tungsten carbide in the jaw. This provided the instrument with a very secure grip that was unsurpassed in durability and longevity. When introduced at the next American College of Surgeons meeting, the "Diamond-Jaw®" needle holder was an instant success.

Shortly thereafter, Snowden Pencer incorporated and began introducing other types of instruments using this exciting new material. The world's first tungsten carbide scissor (Diamond-Edges®), forceps (Diamond-Points®), bone rasps (Diamond-Tip®) and serrated scissors (Diamond-SerEdges®) were all developed by Snowden Pencer.

The surgical community was introduced to tungsten carbide instruments by Snowden Pencer. For many years we were the only manufacturer of these instruments and supplied them world-wide under our various trademarks (Diamond-Jaw®, Diamond-Edges®, etc.).

Over the years our products have been copied by other manufacturers, but our quality, performance and longevity have never been equaled. Snowden Pencer Diamond-Line® instruments are still the standard by which all others are measured.
