The Scrub-up Gowning area provides an area for pre-operative scrubbing and gowning/ gloving if necessary, located in close proximity to the entrance of an operating or procedure room.
Acoustics: Sound attenuation level - medium; acoustic privacy required
Additional Design Considerations:
- The location of the scrub sink must avoid splashing on sterile
equipment
- A scrub sink located in a corridor must not reduce the minimum
corridor width
- A minimum of 800mm is required between scrub stations
- Taps to be non touch - automatically operated or foot operated
- Sensor taps, if installed, should be connected to essential power
supply
