ABSTRACT:
A bedpan liner, kit and method is disclosed which allows reuse of a conventional bedpan without sterilization, and provides for clean efficient handling of bedpan wastes. The liner is a sheet of water impermeable flexible plastic material which is gathered at opposite ends and secured in the gathered condition to form an elongated hammock-like pouch with relatively rigid end portions suitable for handgripping to carry and dump the pouch. The pouch or liner has convoluted walls that can be approximately formed to the basin in a bedpan. Adhesive tabs attached to opposite ends of the pouch serve to temporarily secure the pouch to the bedpan. Tissue like paper napkins, separable from the pouch, absorb fluid wastes, reduce malodor and conceal the wastes from a person utilizing the liner, kit and method. After removing the liner from the bedpan, tension applied between the ends thereof causes the walls to contract and hold the wastes in a sling or hammock-like manner. The pouch so held by the ends is then inverted over a flushable toilet to drop both the wastes and disposable napkins when the tension between the ends is relieved, following which the pouch is contracted by applying tension between its ends, folded and inserted into a sack for separate sanitary disposal in a trash container.
