A Sterile Supply Technician, also known as a Central Processing Technician or Sterile Processing Technician, plays a crucial role in the medical technology industry by ensuring that all surgical tools and supplies are sterilized and ready for use. These professionals are responsible for cleaning, sterilizing, and assembling surgical instruments, equipment, and supplies.
