The global surgical equipment market was valued at $35.6 billion in 2022 and is expected to grow to $59 billion by 2032. Surgical instruments are used in operating rooms worldwide, and the field uses a wide variety of them – from scalpels, surgical scissors, and forceps to irrigation devices, ultrasound tissue disruptors, and bone cutters. To access foreign markets, these instruments and the materials and documents required to operate and sell these instruments must be translated and localized. As medical devices continue to advance and the world increasingly globalizes, fast, highly accurate surgical equipment translation services are critical for medical device manufacturers to expand into new markets. In addition, as new surgical instruments enter global markets, educational materials for patients, doctors, and medical device manufacturing workers must be translated to ensure proper use and safety.
CSOFT Health Sciences works with surgical instrument manufacturers to ensure that all medical documents and eLearning content are technically accurate. With our network of over 10,000 in-country linguists and subject matter experts, we provide the highest-quality translation solutions in over 250 languages for the best ROI. We provide translations for a full range of content, documents, and materials for medical professionals utilizing surgical instruments, including:
- Ratcheted Forceps Translations
- Non-Ratcheted Forceps Translations
- Scissors Translations
- Retractors Translations
- Sponge Holding Rampley Translations
- Needle Holder Translations
- Towel Clips Translations
- Surgical Device Description and Specifications Translations
- Surgical Labelling and Instructions for use/ Reprocessing Instructions Translations
- Description of Design and Manufacturing Translations
Surgical Instrument Software Localization
For surgical equipment and its operating systems like in-suite imaging, computer-assisted surgical technology, patient monitoring devices, and laser technology surgical devices, software localization is imperative to meet global regulatory standards and ensure the safety and efficacy of surgical instruments. Proper surgical instrument software translation requires experienced and professional linguists with subject matter knowledge in the industry, as well as localization best practices.
CSOFT only hires linguists with a minimum of seven years of translation experience and in-depth subject matter knowledge. We have extensive experience translating software GUI and ensuring the proper formatting for each project, with text expansion and contraction in mind.

eLearning & Training for Surgical Instrument Translation
Surgical instrument and equipment manufacturers must ensure proper training is offered to end-users such as doctors, healthcare professionals, and patients on the correct use and description of medical devices. In addition, as technology like computer-assisted surgery, advanced imaging, and 3D printers that manufacture surgical equipment continues to advance, surgical instrument manufacturers need to train workers on correctly assembling and creating surgical equipment safely and effectively.
As the demand for surgical instruments grows, providing highly accurate and culturally appropriate translated eLearning materials is essential for regulatory compliance and quality assurance. CSOFT provides eLearning translation and localization solutions to maximize product reach and ensure safe surgical operations across multiple markets. In addition, CSOFT offers video translation services such as multilingual video voiceover, subtitling, and dubbing.

Surgical Instrument Translation and Document Translations
As with any medical device, surgical instruments have medical documents that must be accurately translated with the utmost technical precision. This includes regulatory compliance documentation, legal documents such as patents and international business agreements, instructions for use (IFU), manufacturing process descriptions, package inserts and labels, Phase 0-IV clinical trial documentation, and post-market safety reporting. As the demand for surgical equipment continues to expand into overseas markets, manufacturers must ensure that each surgical instrument’s documentation is translated accurately and promptly. CSOFT Health Sciences specializes in end-to-end translation for surgical instrument documentation across all stages of the medical device development lifecycle.

Localizing IVDs to Meet Rapidly Rising Demand Worldwide
As the global demographic shifts towards an aging population, especially in Asia and South America, there’s a parallel shift in demand for medical devices, including IVDs. Precision in the localization and translation of surgical instruments is crucial for manufacturers aiming to meet this demand and comply with diverse international regulations. Partnering with skilled language service providers is essential to navigate these complex regulatory environments and ensure surgical instruments are accessible and approved for use in these emerging markets.
