What is sterile processing?
Sterile processing is the process of cleaning medical supplies and preparing them to be used again. First, tools are disassembled , cleaned, and disinfected using both manual and mechanical techniques. Once a piece of medical equipment is completely cleaned and disinfected, it will be sterilized and packaged for reuse.

You will take care of washing , sterilizing, cooling, assembling , packaging, storing, and delivering both surgical and procedural instruments to hospitals and clinics.
