  • Patent number: 6434761
    Abstract: A portable soaking and bath pan is provided for treating perineal wounds of a bedridden patient. The pan comprises a bottom portion having a generally flat lower surface for being supported upon the patient's bed and upwardly and outwardly flaring sides that define a relatively wide and shallow treatment area that can receive the thighs and buttocks of the patient to be treated. A collection reservoir or basin is formed within the bottom portion immediately beneath the treatment area which is used to collect cleansing fluid as the patient is treated. The collection reservoir has a drain outlet that is used to convey the accumulated cleansing fluid from the reservoir through flexible tubing to a discharge receptacle in the patient's room. A discharge valve controls the flow of cleansing fluid from the reservoir. A handheld, detachable spray head mounted to the pan is provided for introducing cleansing fluid into the treatment area.
