Abstract:
The Cushioned Bed Pan provides consumers a comfortable alternative to the standard stainless steel or plastic bedpans available on the market. As the name implies, The Cushioned Bed Pan is a specially designed bedpan featuring a generously padded, cushioned seat. Similar in size and function of a standard bedpan, The Cushioned Bed Pan is generally oval in shape and features an ample, built-in receptacle for collecting waste. As with traditional bedpans, The Cushioned Bed Pan features an integrated handle hidden flush against the underside of the seat and designed specifically to afford easy transport while also enabling caregivers to quickly and efficiently empty the device after use. The Cushioned Bed Pan is manufactured primarily of stainless steel and, in another embodiment, heavy duty plastic material. The most notable aspect of this device however, and that which sets this product apart from standard bedpans is found in the cushiony soft padding which encompasses the top of the unit. This padding is manufactured of synthetic foam, vinyl or similar material and provides a thick, cushiony barrier between the user and the hard seat, supporting the user's legs and buttocks in a comfortable and stable manner.
