Stainless steel medical sink

Product description

The medical sink combines advanced hygiene features, ergonomic design, water efficiency and durability to meet the stringent requirements of healthcare facilities. Touch controls eliminate touching surfaces, reducing the risk of cross-contamination, and the stainless steel surface is easy to sanitize to control infections. The faucet system dispenses water efficiently with an automatic shut-off feature, helping healthcare facilities save on water bills. Thoughtful design ensures user comfort: the height and layout of the sink reduces the burden of frequent hand washing. Constructed from durable stainless steel and high-quality components, the sink can withstand the heavy use of busy hospitals and clinics, providing years of reliable service.

Design and components

Sink: The sink is made of high quality stainless steel, known for its durability, corrosion resistance and ease of maintenance. Its smooth surface prevents dirt, bacteria and other contaminants from sticking. The sink is sized for two people to use at the same time, usually with a width that allows enough room for free movement of hands and forearms while washing. For example, in a busy hospital emergency room, a spacious sink allows medical staff to quickly and efficiently wash their hands without crowding. It often has rounded corners to avoid sharp edges that can cause injury and to facilitate thorough cleaning.

Touch Water System: The key functional element of this medical sink is the sensor water system. The system is equipped with infrared sensors that detect the presence of hands under the tap.

When detected, water is automatically supplied with the specified flow and temperature parameters. The sensors are highly sensitive and instantly respond to the slightest movement, ensuring a seamless hand washing process. In the pre-surgery area, robust sensor technology prevents cross-contamination as users are not required to touch faucet handles, reducing the spread of germs. The faucet system also includes a mixing valve to precisely adjust the water temperature to suit individual preferences and ensure compliance with recommended hand washing temperatures.

Countertop and Cabinets: The sink is typically mounted on a durable stainless steel countertop, providing a stable work surface.

Storage cabinets can be located under the countertop. These cabinets can be used to store soap dispensers, paper towel holders, and other handwashing accessories. In a clinical setting, such storage space is convenient for placing consumables within easy reach. Cabinet doors often feature quiet, smooth-operating hinges and secure locking mechanisms, ensuring security and easy access.

Drainage System: An effective drainage system is essential for the smooth functioning of a medical sink. It includes a drain pipe of suitable diameter to drain water from the double sink. The drain is usually equipped with a filter to prevent debris such as hair, lint, or small medical waste from becoming clogged. In a laboratory setting, the filter helps keep the drain clear and keeps the work area clean. The drainage system is also designed to easily connect to the existing plumbing infrastructure of a healthcare facility.

Areas of application

Hospitals: In various departments such as operating rooms, intensive care wards and general wards, the touch-activated stainless steel double medical sink is widely used. In operating rooms, it allows surgical teams to wash their hands before and after procedures while maintaining a sterile environment. In intensive care units, where patients are most vulnerable, a sink helps prevent the spread of infections.

Clinics: Small clinics also benefit from using this type of sink. It provides a professional and hygienic hand washing solution for doctors, nurses and patients. For example, in a dental clinic, the sink can be used by dentists and hygienists before and after seeing patients, ensuring the safety of both parties.

Laboratories: In biomedical and chemical laboratories, the sink is used for hand washing and rinsing small lab equipment. Corrosion-resistant stainless steel is suitable for working with chemicals, and a sensor-controlled faucet helps prevent contamination of the work area.

Maintenance and precautions

Regular Cleaning: The sink, faucet, countertop, and cabinets should be wiped down to remove dirt, stains, or biofilm. Healthcare facilities may have a strict cleaning schedule to ensure the sink is always in optimal condition.

Sensor Calibration and Maintenance: Infrared sensors must be calibrated periodically to ensure their accuracy. If the sensors are misaligned or faulty, the mixer may not operate correctly. Sensors and other faucet components should be checked regularly by qualified service personnel. In a high-tech healthcare facility, any malfunction of the sensory system can disrupt the handwashing process, so immediate intervention is required.

Checking the Drainage System: The drainage system should be checked regularly for signs of blockages or leaks. The filter should be cleaned frequently to prevent blockages. If a clog occurs, it should be removed immediately to avoid water backflow and possible damage to the sink or surrounding area.
