Bedpan Holster

Makes Bedpan More Accessible, Saves Nursing Time

bedpanh.jpg (5529 bytes)

Now residents who can position themselves on bedpans don’t have to call for assistance just to reach the bedpan.  Saves a trip for busy nursing people…only one trip (to remove the bedpan), not two trips!

Holster fastens to bedrail with Velcro®; keeps bedpan within easy reach of bedfast residents.  Improved design…won’t touch the floor when the siderail is lowered.

Resident calls for assistance only in removing the bedpan.  Nursing personnel cleans bedpan, replaces it in holster.

Count up the savings in nursing time!  At just 5 minutes a trip, 4 times a day per resident, 365 days a year, that’s over three weeks of nursing time saved for every $10.47 Bedpan Holster.  If you have a number of residents who can self-position, you could easily save one whole FTE or more!

Holster fits all full-size bedpans. Made to last for years.  Waterproof, washable fabric, fire resistant; meets all applicable fire codes.  Measures 17"w x 14"h with 4" gusset.

Start saving nursing time now! Colors available:   Gray

Reversible Repositioning Indicator Pads

Now you can know your chair patients have been

repositioned…with our Reversible Repositioning Indicator Pads.

One side is green, the other is navy.  Between them is waterproof vinyl. You set the schedule for chair repositioning, designate your periods by pad color. reposition.gif (5747 bytes)

For example, if 7 a.m. is "green", all indicator pads should be green side up at 7 a.m. 9 a.m. would then be "blue", and a quick visual check at 9 a.m. should show the blue side up on all pads.  Put the 18" x 20" pad under the incontinent pad, if one is used.  You’ll still see enough of the color indicator to know whether repositioning has been done. And the washable waterproof pad will help keep the chair clean!

Give your charge nurses and easy way to check on repositioning of chair

patients…the Reversible Repositioning Indicator Pad.
