How Can You Improve Sanitation in a Hospital Bathroom?

The number one priority is to keep wastes off the floor as much as possible. Obviously, good trash disposal units are the primary receptacles used for this purpose.  However, an extra step that many medical facilities now take to make hospital bathrooms even safer is to install additional disposal units for sanitary napkins.  These new accessories can be mounted on partition walls or restroom walls.

It is also necessary to keep soap and water off the floor. A wet restroom floor is a serious trip hazard.  Even with only a little water or soap, it is easy for a user to seriously hurt himself or herself in a fall.  Using new lavatories like the Terreon Deep Well Lavatory can significantly improve the state of affairs.  Molded from a single piece of vandal-resistant, moisture resistant Terreon, this commercial health care sink is designed to contain water by means of a very deep bowl designed combined with an excellent drainage system.

The basin bottom is also built to curve toward the drain so water does not get trapped so easily at the basin. Basin ledges pitch forward way from the sink as well.  This further enables to lavatory to drain water quickly.  As a solid surface, also Terreon™, offers level of moisture resistance that not only make it resilient against any type of mold or mildew, but that also keeps it dry so that bacteria do not have a breeding ground in which to grow.

Touch free accessories are also another way to improve overall hygiene in hospital bathrooms. The one fixture that most people have handled in public restroom is the paper towel holder.  This is less than ideal, because it offers contagious agents to transfer from the hands of one user to another.  In the past, touch free, sensor controlled units were used to eliminate this problem.  However, the older models, made from plastic, will not hold up to heavy traffic as good as a stainless steel unit can.

Safety is also a consideration to take into account in the event that older accessories can break.  Sharp pieces of plastic are bad enough. Even worse are the shards of glass that result from broken restroom mirrors.  Our frameless model that is made from float glass minimizes the risks of broken glass.  Rather than fragmenting, float glass forms tiny crystalline beads that are far less hazardous and are also very easy to sweep off the hospital bathroom floor.
