Trusted by healthcare professionals globally, these Plastic Forceps are intended for single use and deliver consistent performance across diverse clinical settings.
SMB’s ultimate goal is to empower healthcare professionals and enhance patient outcomes. As part of SMB’s comprehensive range of gynaecological and surgical instruments, Cheron Forceps continue to play a vital role in advancing reproductive healthcare.
The Cheron Forceps is used to hold swabs, sponges and dressings in gynaecological and surgical procedures. It is also called a sponge holding forceps or uterine dressing forceps. It should be used by, or under the supervision of, a physician or gynaecologist.
Common uses:
A steel Cheron forceps is cheap per use only if every reprocessing step happens correctly, every time: cleaning, inspection, packing, autoclaving, tracking. In a busy outreach camp or a high-volume family planning clinic, that chain breaks. Disposable forceps remove it.
Steel still makes sense where a hospital runs a well-controlled sterile services department. For mobile teams, NGO programmes and IUD insertion camps, single-use plastic forceps are usually the safer and simpler choice.
Do not reuse. Do not re-sterilise.

The Cheron Forceps is one of the instruments in SMB's IUD Insertion and Removal Kit, alongside the Pozzi Tenaculum and Thread Cutting Scissors. In a typical insertion, the Speculum exposes the cervix, the Cheron forceps applies antiseptic, the tenaculum steadies the cervix and the Uterine Sound measures the uterus before the IUD goes in. Buying the instruments from one manufacturer keeps quality and supply consistent across the whole procedure.
