FAQs
What types of urinals and bed pans does Alpha Medical Solutions offer?
Alpha Medical Solutions provides a wide range of daily living hygiene aids, including male and female urinals, heavy-duty bed pans, and slipper (fracture) bed pans. These are made from moulded plastic, designed for easy cleaning, and tailored to different patient mobility and comfort needs.
Are Alpha Medical’s bed pans autoclavable?
Yes — for example, the heavy-duty bed pan from Alpha Medical is made of moulded plastic and is autoclavable, allowing for proper sanitisation in healthcare environments.
How do I choose between a heavy-duty bed pan and a slipper bed pan?
- Use a heavy-duty bed pan if you need a large seating area, high capacity and strong, stable construction.
- Choose a slipper (fracture) bed pan for patients with limited movement or those recovering from hip surgery: its wedge-shape helps positioning, and it’s easier to slide underneath.
Do the urinals come with graduations for measuring output?
Yes — some male urinals in their range have 100 ml graduation markings, allowing accurate measurement of urine volume.
How should urinals and bed pans be cleaned and stored safely?
The urinals and bed pans from Alpha Medical are made from moulded plastic that can be sanitised. For reusable units, clean them thoroughly after each use and store them in a clean, dry area to maintain hygiene and prevent material degradation.
