Handwashing Sinks and Scrub Stations for Clinical Hand Hygiene
Handwashing sinks and surgical scrub stations are fixed hand hygiene points across surgical suites, procedure rooms, exam rooms, and soiled utility areas. The catalog covers stainless scrub sinks, hand hygiene sinks, and portable handwash stations in hands-free knee, foot pedal, and sensor formats. Hands-free activation keeps water and soap controls contact-free at the point of hand hygiene, which supports infection prevention protocols.
Sink and Handwashing Station Types Stocked
- Surgical scrub sinks - Single, double, and triple-station stainless scrub sinks for surgical suite corridors, with knee, foot pedal, or sensor activation and gooseneck spouts. Bradley and stainless scrub sink lines are commonly stocked.
- Hand hygiene sinks - Wall-hung and countertop hand hygiene sinks for exam rooms, patient rooms, and clean and soiled utility, in stainless and vitreous formats. Elkay and Bradley fixtures are widely used.
- Hands-free faucets and controls - Knee-operated valves, foot pedal controls, and infrared sensor faucets that keep activation contact-free at hand hygiene points.
- Portable handwash stations - Self-contained freestanding handwash units with onboard fresh and waste water tanks for spaces without permanent plumbing, including temporary and overflow areas.
- Scrub sink accessories - Soap and brush dispensers, gooseneck spouts, splash guards, and mounting hardware matched to scrub and hygiene sink installations.
Sink and Station Formats Available
| Type | Configuration | Activation | Typical Placement |
|---|---|---|---|
| Surgical scrub sink | Single, double, triple station | Knee, foot pedal, sensor | Surgical suite corridors |
| Hand hygiene sink | Wall-hung, countertop | Sensor or lever | Exam and patient rooms |
| Portable handwash station | Freestanding, self-contained | Foot pump or sensor | Areas without plumbing |
| Utility sink | Floor and wall mount | Lever or sensor | Soiled and clean utility |
Hands-Free Activation Formats
Hands-free controls come in three formats. Knee-operated valves start and stop water with a panel below the basin, foot pedal controls mount at floor level for the same contact-free operation, and infrared sensor faucets run on battery or hardwired power. All three keep hand contact off the fixture during hand hygiene. The format specified usually depends on the room, the plumbing rough-in, and facility infection prevention standards.
Handwashing sinks and scrub stations are fixed infrastructure specified during new construction, renovation, and clinical suite build-outs, and replaced on longer cycles than consumable lines. Because these are durable fixtures ordered by project rather than by census, facilities and construction teams benefit from project pricing and consolidated ordering across a build.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a surgical scrub sink and a hand hygiene sink?
Surgical scrub sinks are deep stainless basins in single, double, or triple-station configurations placed in surgical suite corridors for the pre-operative scrub, typically with knee, foot pedal, or sensor activation and gooseneck spouts. Hand hygiene sinks are smaller wall-hung or countertop basins in exam rooms, patient rooms, and utility areas for routine hand hygiene. Scrub sinks are sized for a full surgical scrub, while hygiene sinks are sized for frequent short washes.
What hands-free activation options are available?
The catalog stocks knee-operated valves, foot pedal controls, and infrared sensor faucets. Knee and foot controls are mechanical and need no power, while sensor faucets run on battery or hardwired power. All three keep hand contact off the fixture during hand hygiene. The choice usually depends on room type, plumbing rough-in, and facility infection prevention standards.
Are portable handwash stations available for spaces without plumbing?
Yes. Self-contained portable handwash stations carry onboard fresh and waste water tanks and a foot pump or sensor faucet, so they operate without permanent plumbing. They are stocked for temporary clinics, overflow areas, screening points, and construction phasing where a fixed sink is not available. Refill and waste handling is manual through the onboard tanks.
Can facilities order sinks and handwashing stations in bulk?
Yes. Sinks and handwashing stations are stocked for hospitals, surgery centers, long-term care facilities, outpatient clinics, and licensed distributors, with project quantities available for new construction and renovation. Portable stations and hands-free faucets can be ordered in case lots. Contact our procurement team for project pricing and consolidated ordering across a build.
What handwashing products should be in a facility formulary?
A facility hand hygiene formulary typically standardizes a scrub sink configuration for surgical corridors, a hand hygiene sink for exam and patient rooms, a hands-free activation format, and portable stations for areas without plumbing. MAP Medical builds consolidated handwashing packages matched to facility layout and infection prevention standards - contact our team for an assessment.
