Case Study: Reduce Infection Risk with Stanbridge Bedpans

Introduction 

Stanbridge have pioneered the complete transformation of bedpans within care homes and hospitals. Historically, it was a challenge to ensure thorough cleaning of bedpans due to the way they were designed. It often required manual checks with a mirror to ensure no soil or bacteria were left behind. This presented a risk for care homes and hospitals. Stanbridge’s innovation in bedpan design has allowed for the development of seamless bedpans without pockets to trap bacteria and lids to reduce cross-contamination. 

Implementation 

Creating bedpans without pockets or crevices ensures that soil and harmful bacteria cannot be trapped and allowed to fester. Stanbridge bedpans are also made from ABS plastic, making them effortless to clean, providing effective decontamination, preventing the spread of infections and protecting both patients and staff.

We have also upgraded our slipper bedpans to include a lid. This simple addition reduces infection risks from spillages, preserves dignity and makes transportation of human waste much safer and easier. The lid has been made specifically for our bedpans and has been vigorously tested to withstand the high temperatures required for decontamination. We are also in the process of introducing lids to the other bedpans in our range. 

Conclusion 

Stabridge’s commitment to infection control has proven to be a success, and our bedpans are the ideal choice for those who demand the best in quality, performance, comfort, and sustainability. With a variety of sizes and styles available, we’re able to provide the perfect solution to meet the needs of hospitals, clinics and care homes.
