Hospital Holloware for Convalescing Patients at Home

Hospital Holloware for Convalescing Patients at Home

Hospital Holloware is utilitarian items that are required by any healthcare facility for convalescing patients like bedpans, instrument trays, etc. Stainless steel is used for carrying the surgical instruments and sterilizing them. Patients who are bedridden due to bad health and are unable to go to the toilets need some temporary device to dispose of the excreta.

Hospital Holloware is designed for this purpose only. First of all, they require a person a nurse, or a family member to take care of their needs at all times. These devices are mostly made up of stainless steel because of its non-corrosive and durable nature which is suitable for reparative sterilization.

Hospital Holloware-like bed pans are used for disposing of the excreta of patients. Some helpful tips for using bedpans at home. 

1. Position the bedpan on the bed near the patient’s hips with the open end facing the foot of the bed.
2. Help the patient to sit in the middle of the bed and not on the edge.
3. If sitting is impossible, help them roll onto one side. Position the absorbent padding first. Place the bedpan against the buttocks, and move it gently in place as you help roll the patient into position on the bedpan.
4. With women be sure that the urine stream is going in the bedpan and not on the bed.
5. Stay in the room nearby. Never leave the bedpan in place for extended periods, bedsores and severe skin irritation can result.
6. Be sure toilet paper or wipes are within reach for cleaning, but you may have to assist with wiping.
7. If in a sitting position, support the patient as you lift your buttocks slightly, just enough to remove the bedpan.
8. Use a warm wet washcloth, pre-moistened wipes, or a Hygie disposable wash glove to clean the buttocks area.
9. Dry the area thoroughly before putting clothes or gown back on, and be alert for any skin irritation, rashes, or sores.
10. Emptying and cleaning the bedpan can be another serious challenge
