Emptying and washing bedpans takes staff time and moves soiled material around a ward. These disposable midi slipper pan liners sit inside a support pan, catch the contents and go straight into the macerator, so nothing is carried to a sluice and washed.
For nursing teams it shortens the round after toileting and cuts the handling that comes with reusable pans. Lids are included in the carton so a liner can be covered before it leaves the bedside, which helps with odour and with dignity in shared rooms.
The slipper shape suits people who transfer with help or who cannot lift clear of the bed, including post surgical patients and residents with limited hip movement.
