An isolation station puts the personal protective equipment and hand hygiene staff need right where they enter a patient area. A well-designed station makes doing the right thing the easy thing — which is the whole point of infection control.
What to stock
- Gowns — isolation gowns in the appropriate protection level.
- Gloves — a full size range in nitrile.
- Masks & eye protection — procedure or respirator masks and face shields per protocol.
- Hand hygiene — alcohol-based sanitizer at the point of entry.
- Head and shoe covers where required.
Placement and organization
Position stations at the entrance to isolation rooms and high-traffic zones so PPE is donned before entry and doffed on exit. Keep the layout consistent across the facility so staff and floats always know where things are. A dedicated cart or wall-mounted organizer keeps corridors clear and supplies visible for quick restocking.
Keep it stocked
An empty station is a compliance gap. Assign restocking responsibility, set par levels, and reorder consumables in case quantities so stations are never caught short during a surge.
Build your stations
Shop isolation stations, PPE & personal protection, exam gloves, and mask dispensers to outfit every entry point.
