Sterilizing Forceps

Description

Sterilizing Forceps

The sterilizing forceps lift sterile instruments, dressings and small items without hand contact. Six lengths and two jaw shapes cover almost every container.

Six lengths

We offer 16, 20, 23, 24, 28 and 30 cm. Short lengths suit trays. Meanwhile, long lengths reach the bottom of deep drums.

Straight or curved

Straight jaws suit flat items. By contrast, curved jaws scoop under small instruments. Many rooms keep both shapes.

Why sterilizing forceps matter

Hands can carry germs onto sterile items. Forceps keep a gap. As a result, the sterile field stays protected.

Typical uses

Theatres, wards and sterile services use them. For example, they move instruments from a steriliser to a tray. They also pass dressings.

Choosing a length

Match the length to your deepest container. For instance, 30 cm suits tall drums. However, 16 or 20 cm suits trays and dishes.

Using them

Keep the tips lower than the handles. Then lift items one at a time. Also, return the forceps to a clean holder.

Cleaning schedule

Wash and dry the forceps at the end of each session. In addition, sterilise them on a set schedule. Replace the holder at the same time.

How we back the forceps

Any forceps goes through a thorough check by Atlanta staff ahead of shipping. Each length and jaw style gets three years against manufacturing defects. No exceptions for the short ones. We also check sizes for your facility. Further patterns are in the general surgical department. A second forceps in the sterile store covers reprocessing gaps. For the basics of surgical stainless steel, visit ASTM F899. It pairs well with our Cheatle pattern. Our questions page addresses typical order queries.
