ABSTRACT:
Cross-contamination of the patients using the same sitz bath in a health-care institution is precluded by lining the bath with a disposable sheet of biologically-clean, flexible plastic film, thereby establishing a physical barrier to prevent any contact (and consequently a transmission path for bacteria) between the sitz bath and patient and between the bath and water. A plastic collar or grommet, which surrounds and extends through a drain opening in the liner, inserts into the bath's drain. Water may be run continuously into the lined sitz bath and drained out through the collared drain opening. To provide a predetermined water level in the sitz bath, a plastic standpipe is inserted into, and held by, the plastic collar.
