CSSD cleans and sterilises used surgical equipment, then it repacks it into packs or 'sets' used for a specific purpose. A tray they pack and sterilise for eye surgery would contain different equipment to a pack intended for hip replacement surgery or a burns dressing.
Most packs are 'standard'. When putting artery forceps in a pack, for instance, two members of staff at CSSD would have to count the quantity out loud before the pack is sealed. The Operating Theatre Sister would count them out loud with a nurse before surgery starts. Before a surgeon closes the wound, all of the forceps and swabs have to be accounted for by two people counting out loud to ensure nothing is left inside the patient.
CSSD also supply dressing packs to use on the wards. If special packs are needed, it can be arranged between the ward and CSSD who will then make up a special dressing pack as requested.
They are a highly specialised and crucial service and theirs is a very important job indeed. It is often staffed by highly qualified nurses who either do not want to work odd shifts or who have such an illness or injury that they should not be in direct contact with patients with or who are too heavily pregnant to work on the wards.
