Midmark CSK-S131105-1 - Sink Single Bowl 1 Hole 13x11x5" SS Ea
The Midmark CSK-S131105-1 single bowl stainless steel sink is designed specifically for clinical and medical environments where hygiene, durability, and efficient workflow matter. Measuring 13 by 11 by 5 inches, this compact sink fits seamlessly into exam rooms, procedure areas, treatment bays, and sterilization stations where space is limited but sanitation standards remain critical.
Constructed from high grade stainless steel, the sink resists corrosion, staining, and microbial buildup commonly associated with healthcare use. The single faucet hole allows easy installation with compatible clinical faucets, providing dependable water access for handwashing, instrument rinsing, and light cleaning tasks. Smooth interior surfaces support quick rinsing and prevent debris accumulation, helping facilities maintain compliance with infection control protocols.
Key Benefits
The stainless steel construction provides long term resistance to chemicals, disinfectants, and repeated cleaning cycles common in medical facilities. The compact footprint supports installation in smaller cabinetry or wall mounted applications where full size sinks are impractical.
The single bowl configuration simplifies workflow by allowing staff to rinse instruments, wash hands, or prepare supplies without obstruction. Smooth rounded corners reduce bacterial retention and make cleaning faster and more thorough.
The pre formed faucet hole streamlines installation, minimizing plumbing modification time during equipment setup or room renovation. The polished finish maintains a professional clinical appearance even after years of use.
Compatibility and Applications
This sink integrates well with medical cabinetry, treatment stations, and modular casework systems used in outpatient clinics and ambulatory care centers. It supports installation with standard clinical faucets, gooseneck faucets, and hands free faucet systems commonly used in healthcare settings.
Typical applications include exam room handwashing stations, minor procedure preparation areas, dental operatories, laboratory sample rinsing stations, and nurse workstations. The sink is also appropriate for veterinary clinics, urgent care centers, and specialty practices requiring compact sanitation solutions.
Usage Guidelines
Install the sink using approved plumbing fittings and ensure secure sealing around the mounting perimeter to prevent moisture infiltration into cabinetry. After installation, test water flow and drainage to confirm proper operation.
Use approved healthcare disinfectants for routine sanitation. Rinse thoroughly after chemical exposure to preserve finish integrity. Avoid abrasive pads or harsh scraping tools that may damage the surface and compromise cleanability.
For infection control, staff should follow facility hand hygiene protocols and rinse instruments immediately after use to prevent residue buildup.
Certifications and Safety Standards
The sink is manufactured to meet healthcare facility durability expectations and sanitation practices commonly required in clinical environments. Stainless steel construction supports compliance with infection prevention guidelines related to nonporous, cleanable surfaces.
The smooth interior design promotes adherence to standard hand hygiene and equipment cleaning protocols in outpatient medical settings.
Comparison with Competitors
Compared with generic utility sinks, this model is purpose built for healthcare environments rather than food service or residential use. The depth and bowl geometry support clinical cleaning tasks while maintaining compact installation flexibility.
Unlike coated or composite sinks, the stainless steel body tolerates frequent exposure to disinfectants without surface degradation. Competing sinks with sharp corners often retain residue, whereas the rounded interior of this unit improves sanitation efficiency.
The precision sizing also aligns with medical cabinetry systems, reducing installation adjustments often required with non medical sinks.
Typical User Profile and Application Scenarios
Medical assistants and nurses use the sink for routine handwashing between patient interactions. Physicians may utilize the sink during minor procedures to rinse tools or prepare materials. Dental professionals can perform quick instrument rinsing and suction accessory cleaning.
Laboratory technicians benefit from the controlled depth for specimen container rinsing without splashback. Veterinary clinics rely on the compact size for exam room sanitation where larger sinks are not feasible.
Best Practices for Use and Maintenance
Clean the sink daily using approved non abrasive disinfectant solutions. After cleaning, wipe dry to reduce mineral spotting and preserve finish clarity. Inspect the drain periodically to ensure unobstructed water flow.
Apply preventative maintenance by checking seal integrity around the mounting surface and tightening fittings when necessary. Regular maintenance ensures long service life and reduces unexpected facility downtime.
Regulatory and Safety Information
The nonporous stainless steel surface supports infection prevention efforts required in healthcare settings. Proper installation and maintenance help facilities maintain sanitary conditions consistent with clinical safety guidelines.
Use only compatible plumbing components and ensure installation complies with local building and healthcare facility codes.
