  • Publication number: 20100107326
    Abstract: A bedpan pad (40) includes a bendable elongated cushion (42) and a fastener mechanism (44) formed in the cushion (42). The fastener mechanism (44) includes a longitudinally aligned opening (60) extending along a length (58) of the cushion (42). Notches (64) are located on an interior curvature side (66) of the cushion (42). The fastener mechanism (44) is configured to engage with a bedpan (20) via the opening (60) such that the cushion (42) wraps around opposing inner and outer top edges (34, 36) of thigh-support regions (28) of a bedpan (20). The notches (64) close in response to bending of the cushion (42) to provide a smooth surface at regions of greatest curvature of the bedpan (20). The bending capability of the cushion (42), attachment feature of mechanism (44), and notches (64) enable the bedpan pad (40) to fit multiple shapes and sizes of a plurality of bedpans (20).
