At the Hospital for Special Surgery, Central Service Professionals play an integral part of patient safety and contributing to our low infection rates. Our CSP department is responsible for decontaminating, inspecting, assembling, packaging, sterilizing, and safely transporting reusable surgical instruments to our surgical areas. CSP also provides disposable medical supplies to the perioperative areas via surgical case carts.

The mission is to provide customers with products that are 100% clean, complete, sterile, and delivered on time. The process is complex due to the vast amounts and variety of surgical instruments found in each tray and meeting the demand of our very busy operating rooms here at HSS. The CSP team prides themselves in being engaged and compliant to regulatory standards for quality and patient safety in order to deliver the best service and products for patients that come to HSS.
