This Fracture Bed Pan is a low-profile, reusable bed pan designed for patients who cannot lift their hips for a standard bed pan. The slim, tapered profile slides easily under the patient with minimal repositioning, while the loop handle allows caregivers to position and remove the pan hygienically. Durable blue plastic construction is fully autoclavable for repeated sterilization and long-term reuse in hospital, nursing home, and home care settings. Sold unboxed without retail packaging.
Patients who cannot raise their hips for a standard bed pan will benefit from the low-profile design of this fracture pan, which slides under the patient with minimal repositioning. Hospital and skilled nursing facility staff will appreciate the autoclavable construction, which supports repeated sterilization and cost-effective reuse across patient care settings. Home health aides and family caregivers managing mobility-limited patients at home will find the loop handle and slim profile make safe, dignified toileting assistance more manageable. Long-term care and convalescent environments where durable, easy-to-clean patient care equipment is a daily necessity are also well served by this pan.
What is a fracture pan and how is it different from a standard bed pan?
A fracture pan has a low, tapered profile on one end that allows it to slide under a patient without requiring them to lift their hips. Standard bed pans require the patient to raise their hips for placement. Fracture pans are used when hip lifting is not possible due to significant mobility limitations.
How do I position the fracture pan under a patient?
Slide the thin, tapered end of the pan under the patient's buttocks from the side or with a gentle roll. The loop handle gives the caregiver a secure grip for controlled placement and removal. Always follow your facility's patient handling protocols or consult a healthcare professional for proper technique.
Is this pan autoclavable?
Yes. The blue plastic construction is fully autoclavable, allowing it to be sterilized using high-pressure steam between uses. This makes it safe and cost-effective for repeated use in clinical environments.
Can this be used at home?
Yes. While commonly used in hospitals and nursing facilities, this fracture pan is equally suitable for home health care. For home use, thorough cleaning with soap and water or a household disinfectant after each use is typically sufficient in place of autoclave sterilization.
