A step over gowning bench creates a clear line between the dirty entry area and the clean gowning zone. Staff sit, swing their legs over and put on cleanroom footwear on the clean side. As a result, it helps stop contamination from being walked into your controlled space.
Why choose this step over gowning bench?
Most cleanroom contamination comes in on people and their shoes. For this reason, a good gowning routine starts with a firm barrier at the entry. This bench gives staff a clear, physical point where the clean zone begins.
It is made from high-grade 304 stainless steel with a brushed finish. This makes it strong, easy to wipe down and resistant to corrosion. In addition, the smooth, rounded edges help prevent snags on delicate cleanroom garments.
The heavy-duty, reinforced frame stays stable in busy entryways. Therefore, it stands up well to constant daily use.

Where to use a step over gowning bench

Tips for best results
First, place the bench right at the boundary between the dirty and clean zones. Next, keep outdoor shoes on the dirty side only. Then have staff sit, swing over and put on cleanroom shoes on the clean side. Finally, wipe the bench down as part of your regular cleaning routine.
