In a high-performance autopsy suite, embalming room, or funeral prep space, choosing the right layout for your workstations matters more than most people realize. One often-overlooked choice is sink orientation—specifically, whether a left-hand or right-hand embalming station is best for your workflow.
For facilities that prioritize operator comfort, plumbing accessibility, and synchronized workstations, a left-hand embalming sink station can drastically improve ergonomics and efficiency.
🔄 Left vs. Right Embalming Stations: Why It Matters
Most mortuary and pathology sinks are available in left, right, or center configurations. A left-hand sink station means the basin, faucet, and hydro aspirator are positioned to the user’s left, allowing for smoother hand motion if the technician is left-handed or if plumbing access requires it.
Ideal scenarios for left-hand units include:
-
Prep rooms with mirrored workstation layouts
-
Autopsy suites with plumbing on the left wall
-
Technicians who prefer left-dominant sink access
-
Facilities with multiple stations that must alternate orientation
