Cardboard Disposable Bed Pans

[Gavmacp]

Mother has to monitor her urine output over three days. I was thinking of getting her some cardboard bed pans for the toilet but not sure how often they could be reused.

Get her a cheap plastic jug, it is what they made me use in hospital when they needed to check my output.

Use them once only I think!

once, maybe twice. You can't wash them as the minute anything hot or soapy is put on them,they start to dissolve. cheapo plastic jug is much easier, get a nice big one, the 2 litre size if you can, easy to measure, light and easy to rinse. If you use anything like a bedpan, then the wee needs decanting inro something else to be measured.

Mother tried a jug with little success. Yes I know they are designed to be used once but 3 days of toileting does rather add up to a lot of bed pans.

shallow plastic bowl? what was the problem with the jug?

[boxtops]

what about a bidet pan (washable) or a plastic kidney dish? - or just go to the pound shop and buy a cheap potty, that would be ideal!

How about buying her a she wee?

from my personal experience of them, they are only used once, then disposed of, surely considering their simple construction you should be able to get a lot of them for not a lot of money
