Hand hygiene is one of the simplest actions in healthcare — yet one of the most critical.
This World Hand Hygiene Day 2026, the theme “Action Saves Lives” highlights the importance of turning good practice into consistent action.
Effective action is essential — and the environment in which it takes place plays an important role in supporting it.
The design of the handwash area — from basin geometry to water delivery — can influence how, when, and how consistently hand hygiene is performed.
At GENTEC, we design our healthcare solutions to support these everyday actions, helping create environments where safe hand hygiene is easier to achieve.
✅ Electronic Sensor Tap– Touch-free operation with sensor technology, preventing cross-contamination while ensuring optimal water efficiency. The in-built hygiene flush minimises Legionella risks, while hygienic laminar flow prevents airborne bacteria from mixing with the water.
✅ STERISAN® Basin with Rear Offset Waste– Designed with rear offset waste to prevent aerosols created from water being directed into the waste fitting, thus reducing airborne bacteria. The curved basin geometry helps minimise splash and channel water efficiently to the waste to avoid pooling.
✅ One-Way Valve– Provides a protective seal between the basin waste and bowl, stopping bacteria and biofilm aerosols from entering the handwash area.
Supporting safer actions through smarter design — because action saves lives.
