In Central Sterile Services Departments (CSSD), washing and sterilization baskets serve as a practical and organized system for the proper handling, cleaning, and sterilization of medical instruments and equipment. These trays, cassettes, or baskets serve as auxiliary equipment in organizing, protecting, and facilitating the handling of materials to be washed, decontaminated, or sterilized.

While supporting efficient workflow, the baskets contribute to the strict adherence to hygiene and sterilization standards. The lid options, sizes and capacities of the baskets are determined based on the dimensions of the devices to be processed and the materials intended to be placed inside them.
