Established in 1926 (as H Neville & Co.), Neville Instruments is based in Sheffield, a major centre of UK metal working skills and where stainless steel originated.
Evolving from the cutlery trade, high quality surgical instruments have been made in Sheffield for more than 200 years. It is from this, that the making of Tooth Forceps later developed into a small,specialised area. This is where Neville Instruments holds its place - very small, and very specialised.
Decades of direct contact with dental professionals has led to periodic developments in the design and refining of Neville products. (For a perfect example of this, click ‘origins’ on the Eagle Beak page.)
Our instruments are still hand crafted and can be ‘tweaked’ to suit individual requirements. This is particularly useful for a dentist with large (or small) hands or who is left-handed. Over the years, many customers have expressed their appreciation of the way Neville forceps feel ‘in the hand’ - testimony, perhaps, to all the effort we put in to beveling and rounding the edges of the handles!
