CSSD Instruments

Cheatle Forceps are long-handled, ratcheted surgical forceps used for the aseptic transfer of sterile instruments, dressings, and supplies in operating rooms, central sterile supply departments, and procedural areas. The extended length allows safe retrieval of items from sterilizers and storage without hand contact, while the serrated tips provide secure grip on wrapped packs and individual instruments. Designed for repeated sterilization and use, they are essential for maintaining aseptic technique during sterile field preparation, instrument handling, and post-operative cleanup. Proper handling, regular inspection, and adherence to aseptic technique are essential for safe and effective use.
