Comfortable Bedpan – for the patient and caregiver
The majority of bedpans on the market are not comfortable. The most common and cheapest bedpan used in hospitals is the fracture bedpan. It is a bedpan with the smallest surface area in contact with the patients skin. This can lead to serious injury. Needing to use a bedpan is not a familiar and comforting experience. Handling a bedpan, and human waste is not a comforting experience either. This discomfort adds to the difficulty of caring for patients requiring a bedpan.
Consider the patient's and your comfort when choosing a bedpan. While using a fracture bedpan is the cheapest option but it is uncomfortable to the patient and caregiver. Emptying and cleaning a fracture bedpan is a hassle. The same is true for the more comfortable pontoon bedpan. Which is difficult to place under a patient and has a tendency to tilt and spill. Cleaning up bedpan spills is unpleasant and a safety issue if the patient has an infectious disease.
For greatest patient and caregiver comfort, choose the EZ Bedpan. It offers a large surface area similar to a regular toilet, providing a familiar comfortable feeling. The EZ Bedpan is contoured for the patient's body and comfort. It can be used in the sitting, semi-sitting and laying positions.
