Access for water line hookups – back, underneath, or front
Water valve operation – by hand or knee operated

Used in Medical and Commercial Facilities

Space saving designs make surgical sinks practical additions to any facility that is concerned about controlling bacteria growth. Stainless steel medical sinks work exceptionally well anywhere sinks get frequent use and where maintaining the highest level of sanitation is important.

The contamination control features are features like the following:

Stainless steel is easy to clean and sanitize
Minimal seams or seamless construction
Hemming on the backsplash and edge rolls
Integrated features like self-draining soap dish, eliminating need for germ collecting items
Sloping bottom surfaces to minimize splashing
Parts easy to remove for sterilization

Practical Uses in Medical and Commercial Facilities

Typical medical and commercial facilities installing surgical sinks include hospitals, clinics, rehabilitation centers, laboratories, educational facilities, veterinary clinics, airports, restaurants, shopping centers, and train and bus stations. The list goes on with day care centers, jails, beauty shops, and anywhere else where people get services that can lead to medical issues if equipment is not kept bacteria-free.
