Why more vets are choosing Nopa surgical instruments

Published on
If you run a vet practice, you'll know the frustration all too well. You buy surgical instruments that look the part, only to find the scissors going blunt within months, the forceps no longer lining up, and the needle holders giving up when you need them most. So, you're back where you started, replacing and re-ordering while your equipment budget quietly disappears.

For too long, New Zealand vets have had to choose between quality and affordability. At Capes Medical, we believe you shouldn't have to. That's why we're proud to supply Nopa veterinary surgical instruments, a range that delivers genuine German engineering at prices that offer the best value.
 

A proud history

Nopa is a family-owned manufacturer that's been making surgical instruments in Tuttlingen, Germany since 1982. Tuttlingen is known as the world centre of medical technology, and more than 40 years on, Nopa supplies vets and surgeons in over 120 countries. Their range covers more than 16,000 instruments, with around 6,000 items always in stock for reliable delivery to New Zealand within 3-4 weeks. 
 

Proven quality

Nopa is ISO 13485 certified and was one of the first companies in Tuttlingen to gain full certification under the new European Medical Device Regulation (MDR). That's the same tough standard applied to human surgical instruments. Their products have also been put through their paces by independently accredited labs. So, when we say quality, it's quality that's been proven, not just promised.
 

Why vets choose Nopa

Here’s some of the key reasons more vets are choosing Nopa’s surgical instruments:
 
  • Built to last. Precision-made German instruments designed to hold their edge, keep their alignment, and handle sterilisation cycle after sterilisation cycle. You'll replace instruments less often and get far more from every dollar.
  • Precision you can feel. Sharp, well balanced and comfortable in the hand, Nopa instruments give you real control and confidence at the table, whether it's a routine spey or delicate eye work.
  • The best value on the market. Quality doesn't have to come with an eye-watering price. Nopa's range is priced to be genuinely affordable, and we believe it's the best value going for New Zealand vets right now.
  • Everything in one place. Instruments, complete surgical sets and Nopa's patented sterilisation container system, all from one trusted supplier.
 

What’s in the new Nopa vet catalogue

Nopa has just released its brand new vet catalogue, and it's their biggest and best yet. Inside you'll find the full range of instruments made specifically for veterinary work, including:
