Cheatle Forcep

Quick answer: A Cheatle Forcep is a long-handled instrument used to lift and transfer sterile items — such as instruments or dressings — out of a sterilising container without touching them by hand, helping maintain aseptic technique in a lab or clinical-training setting. Cheatle Forcep is priced at approximately ₹390 (indicative market benchmark, incl. GST, August 2026).

The Cheatle Forcep is a simple but important instrument in any setting that teaches or practises sterile technique. Its long handle and cupped, non-toothed jaws are designed specifically to retrieve sterilised items from a boiler, autoclave tray or sterilising cabinet without the person’s hand or another item coming into direct contact with the sterile contents, reducing the risk of contamination. In biology and allied-health training labs, Cheatle Forceps are used to teach students correct aseptic-handling procedure — how sterile stock is retrieved and transferred safely — as a foundational skill before working with sterile equipment in any supervised clinical setting. STEMAids supplies this instrument as part of its general laboratory and educational instrument range.
