Sklar Merit Sterilizer Forceps, Straight, Three Prong
An 8 inch straight, three prong forceps used to lift and transfer instruments safely in and out of a sterilizer tray without direct hand contact.
The Sklar Merit Sterilizer Forceps is a utility instrument used to lift, hold and transfer other instruments in and out of a sterilizing tray or tank without the operator needing to make direct hand contact with items that have just been through a sterilisation cycle or that need to remain sterile. The straight jaws are fitted with a three prong pattern at the tip, giving a secure grip on other instruments of varying shapes and sizes as they are moved between the sterilizer, storage tray and the point of use.
Measuring 8 inches, the forceps offer a comfortable working length that keeps the operator's hand at a safe distance from hot surfaces or sterile fields during transfer. This type of instrument is a standard piece of equipment in central sterile supply departments, dental clinics and general practice settings wherever instruments are processed and moved between sterilisation and use.
Manufactured from surgical grade stainless steel, it withstands repeated exposure to sterilisation processes without corroding. It is typically kept near the sterilizer or autoclave as a dedicated handling tool.
