CENTRAL STERILE SUPPLY DEPARTMENT
To provide solutions for hospital infection, the CSSD (Central Sterile Supply Department) has come into place.
A CSSD is like a manufacturing plant for sterile items. The collection of soiled items from operation theaters, ICU’s, wards, out patients department and other specialties are received by the CSSD for processing, then returned to the end users in a sterile state.
The CSSD centralises the sterile processing activities, in which reusable medical devices and surgical instruments and equipment (excluding the operating theatre procedures) are processed and issued for diagnostic and patient care procedures.
