In applications where hygiene is paramount, such as hospitals and senior or assisted living centers, sensing technology for touch-free activation of plumbing fixtures can be a game changer, whether it’s in a public restroom, staff handwashing station, or in-room restrooms. Touchless restroom products improve overall hygiene, wellness, and cleanliness in the restroom, improve user accessibility in compliance with ADA, and conserve water and energy.

Sloan offers touch-free products across the entire restroom to help minimize contact with surfaces where germs breed and to promote hand hygiene. Our products include sensor flushometers – including retrofits for both top- or side-mount applications –, faucets, soap dispensers, scrub sinks, vitreous china fixtures with SloanTec^® hydrophobic glaze, and all-in-one integrated sink systems like Sloan’s AER-DEC^® to enable healthier, more hygienic restrooms.

Sloan’s BASYS^® faucets are ideal for healthcare applications where handwashing compliance is a concern. Available in multiple heights, the LCD display on the faucet crown guides users through CDC-recommended handwashing process – including rinse, lather, 20-second scrub, and final rinse – to promote hand hygiene. Wash time can be programmed according to the needs of the application, and with automatic line purge to mitigate potential legionella in stagnant water systems and water-saving touch-free activation, the BASYS healthcare faucet supports any healthcare environment.

At the Vanderbilt University Medical Center (VUMC) in Nashville, TN, Sloan Optima^® faucets are promoting proper hygiene with their touch-free operation to improve the handwashing process for patients and caregivers alike. Sloan’s ETF-80 Optima hardwired deck-mounted faucets with Bluetooth enable the VUMC maintenance team to remotely monitor each individual faucet through the Sloan Connect^® App, putting data right at their fingertips.
