CSSD Technology

Academic Focus

All hospitals, nursing homes and clinics providing diagnostic, therapeutic and surgical services require sterile instruments, articles and materials. The provision of sterile supplies is a comprehensive process involving cleaning, inspecting, packing, appropriate sterilization, safe storage and timely supply and is carried out by a Central Sterile Supply Department (CSSD), staffed by technicians trained to carry out these activities. This course aims to provide the knowledge and practical training required for a Hospital Sterilization Technician capable of running a central sterile supply or operation theatre sterile supply service.

Keeping in mind the above objective, the syllabus of this two-year course, divided into four semesters, consists of lectures and practical hands-on training in sterilization techniques. The final semester teaches workplace safety, legal and ethical issues, regulatory requirements, protocols and other administrative skills to complement the theoretical and practical knowledge required to function as a competent sterilization technician.

Career Scope

After completion of the diploma in CSSD Technology, the candidate will be able to get the suitable employment in a central sterile supply department or a theatre sterile supply unit, in health care organisations in India and overseas.
