Need kitchen faucet for 3 compartment sink

My kitchen sink has three compartments, the left and right are the same size, the center is smaller, shallower and plumbed to the disposal. Our hard water is tough on fixtures, have had to replace the fixture several times due to leaks developing at the swivel point of our single handle faucets. We are looking for a two handle sink, hoping to eliminate the leaking problem, although it still must swivel. Handles capable of being operated with the wrist would be nice. Our main problem is the reach, needs to be at least 10" to reach the side sinks. Who designed these sinks anyway? To short a reach and the side sinks are useless, to long and the water splashes when using the center sink. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Are you asking for a surgical faucet,(see image) with a 10" spout?
Here's a faucet such as you described but you'll have to change to a longer spout,(see image). I didn't price the faucet but I've done wal in clinics and s I recall they don't come cheap. Let me know. Tom

You have 3 bowl sink, you need faucet that fits that sink. Tom gave you 50 years old idea. I would suggest something from 21.Century. Kohler makes great kitchen faucets with large arch. See the pic...
