Abstract: A bedpan has a pan with an open top. The pan has back wall, a bottom surface, a pair of sidewalls and a front wall. A seat is secured to the pan. The seat has an opening in its center and a retaining wall extending downwardly from the seat and into the pan. A cover is hingedly connected to the pan. The cover has a handle and a lid and the cover has both an open and a closed position. The lid abuts the seat when the cover is in its closed position. The handle abuts the back wall of the pan when the cover is in its open position. A seal is disposed between the pan and the seat to further prevent leakage of the bedpan contents. A disposable bag is placed inside of the pan and secured to the bedpan.
