French term or phrase: Manche Pasteur
This comes in a procurement list for lab supplies (sub-Saharan Africa). In my context it is a "manche Pasteur métallique". I've found pictures in Google but I don't know the English equivalent.

Thanks in advance for your insight!

Thanks to both of you. I've gone with "metal inoculating loops" in this case.
