Newborns are in a “primary curve” C-shaped fetal position upon birth and for the first few months of life, they do not yet have the muscles to support their head. Research has shown that keeping an infant’s spine straight is not a sound physiological position and in addition to stressing the baby’s spine, it can also negatively influence the development of hip joints. In response, the ASST Cradle Baby Bathing Bowl was developed with the labor and delivery nursing team at St. Joseph’s in Baltimore, Maryland. The hospital needed a solution that was integrally mounted, seamless, and provided the proper ergonomic support for a newborn. ASST created a design using patented thermoforming technologies for hospital systems nationwide. For more information, visit www.asst.com.

New in 2021, BLANCO introduced the VINTERA farmhouse sink collection — a clean, contemporary version of the apron front sink style with versatile installation capabilities. Farmhouse sinks are typically fitted as undermounts, but the unique design of the VINTERA also allows for a seamless flush-mount placement. This unique option visually showcases a beautiful rim of SILGRANIT color around the top of the sink, and it sits flush with the countertop. In addition to the flush-mount look, the VINTERA is designed to fit a standard base cabinet measuring the same width as the sink. The new farmhouse sink family includes two models, the VINTERA 30-inch Super Single and the VINTERA 33-inch Equal Double. The VINTERA has a slim 6 ½-inch apron, and it features a generous 9-inch bowl depth, making the sink both spacious and sleek. BLANCO’s patented granite composite material is stronger and more durable than other sink surfaces. Nonporous and food-safe, SILGRANIT’s Hygienic Plus surface formula acts as a protective shield against dirt and bacteria and reduces bacteria growth by up to 98%. The sinks are available in nine color options with additional accessories that include a floating grid and custom-fitted cutting board. To see all sinks available from BLANCO, visit www.blanco.com.
