What materials are commonly handled by a bedpan unit?

The bedpan unit is specifically designed to manage and store bedpans and urinals, which are essential for patient hygiene and comfort in healthcare settings. These units ensure that the collection and storage of these items are done in a safe and sanitary manner, allowing healthcare providers to efficiently assist patients who may have mobility limitations and need to use these products.

Using a dedicated unit for bedpans and urinals minimizes the risk of cross-contamination and promotes proper hygiene protocols within health facilities. Handling clean linens, medical waste, or food items does not fall under the primary function of a bedpan unit and could lead to improper sanitation practices, thus not aligning with the unit's intended purpose.
