ABSTRACT:
Apparatus and method for facilitating the washing of a person's hands to achieve surgical cleanliness in a simple, effective manner. A transparent hollow sphere has a pair of hand openings formed in it, with a pair of pulsating water jet spray heads mounted on the sphere to direct intersecting sprays of water onto a person's hands placed through the hand openings in the sphere. One spray head is mounted in substantially the same horizontal plane as the hand openings, and between them, and the other spray head is mounted in substantially the same vertical plane as the one spray head, about 60.degree. to 135.degree. around the circumference of the sphere with respect to the one spray head. By operating a foot pedal, water is delivered under pressure to the spray heads which pulse the water onto the person's hands, the water then draining through an opening in the bottom of the sphere to be sewered. A soap dispenser may be provided within the sphere.
