Bed Pans in Vadodara A bedpan is a container used for toileting of a bedridden patient who cannot get out of bed to use the toilet. It is typically made of plastic or metal and is designed to fit under the patient's buttocks while lying down. Bedpans come in different shapes and sizes to fit the needs of different patients and are usually available in hospitals, nursing homes, and other healthcare settings. There are two main types of bedpans: standard and fracture. Standard bedpans are flatter and have a lower profile, making them easier for patients to use. Fracture bedpans have a higher profile and a built-in handle, which makes them easier to use for patients who cannot turn over onto their side.
