Cheatel – Surgical Sterilizing Forceps – 16-498-27

27cm, 11″
Screw Joint
Two instruments may carry the same pattern name yet differ in an important mechanical detail. The 16-498-27 Cheatel is a good example. Next Edge Surgical LLC identifies it as a sterilizing forceps and specifies a screw joint, distinguishing it from the 16-497-27 Cheatel, which is listed with a box joint.
The 16-498-27 has a confirmed length of 27 cm, 11 inches. For procurement teams, those two details provide a useful way to distinguish this model when managing similar instruments.
Product identification
* Pattern: Cheatel
* Length: 27 cm, 11 inches
* Joint: Screw joint
* Category: Sterilizing Forceps
* Product code: 16-498-27
The instrument is part of Next Edge Surgical LLC’s hollow wares selection and can be considered by sterile processing departments, hospitals, clinics, teaching institutions, and medical distributors.
The screw-joint configuration is the specific distinguishing feature confirmed on the product page. The page does not provide additional specifications for material grade, jaw shape, handle profile, surface finish, locking arrangement, or approved sterilization method. These characteristics should therefore be confirmed with the manufacturer before the instrument is ordered or incorporated into a processing workflow.
For facilities maintaining multiple forceps patterns, identifying the joint configuration at the procurement stage can help prevent confusion between otherwise similarly named products.
The 27 cm length also provides a clear dimensional reference for storage, handling, and instrument-set planning.
If your inventory requires a Cheatel sterilizing forceps with a screw joint, the 16-498-27 offers a specific configuration to evaluate.
Confirm the remaining technical details before purchase.
