What Type of Hand Wash Sink Is Recommended For Health Care Professionals?

That depends on what part of the facility the restroom is located.  Some restrooms require heavy duty hand washing, while others need to minimize spillage for hygienic purposes.  Still others need to give medical personnel extra room to work around sink areas.

ICU WAsh Stations

Health care professionals in ICU need a hand wash sink that is designed to minimize splashing.  The best option for this task is the Bradley Terreon Deep Well lavatory.  It features a single-piece, molded design that includes integral extra height splashes.  These help better contain water during periods of heavy use.  The unit further minimizes splashing with basin ledges that are pitched toward the center of the bowl to redirect water back toward the center.  The entire bowl is also contoured to facility rapid drainage.

Medical Locker Rooms

Medical locker rooms often experience heavy traffic during shift change and require heavy duty hand wash stations to accommodate personnel who are changing into scrubs.  We recommend that health care facilities invest in wash fountains that feature a deep bowl design that allows health care professionals to wash all the way up to their elbows.  In heavy traffic environments, circular deep bowl washfountains can accommodate up to 8 users at once have proven to be better for water conservation than standard hand wash sinks.  They are also more efficient when it comes to water conservation.   Wash fountains are available in stainless steel, which has always been something of a standard for the medical industry, and new Terreon and TerreonRE, which offers a durable, impact resistant surface that is moisture resistant, sanitary, and easy to clean.

Medical Laboratories

Most laboratories in emergency clinics, outpatient centers, and hospitals cannot be adequately furnishes with standard hand wash sinks.  Health care professionals working in these laboratories require more surface area than the typical lavatory system offers.  Lav decks are preferable in these environments for two reasons.  For one thing, the deck itself offers a shelf-like surface on which various testing equipment can be set before being washed.  Secondly, lav decks can be ordered with customized lengths, making it possible for a facility to dedicate an entire wall to hand washing and equipment washing needs.

Lav decks can be ordered in natural quartz or Terreon.  Both are GREENGUARD Certified materials that are chemical resistant, easy to clean, and environmentally friendly.
