An excreta disposal apparatus with a gender-specific module includes a body having a seating unit corresponding in shape to the curved shape of the genital area and buttocks of a human body, a urine disposal unit corresponding to the genital area of the human body, an excrement disposal unit corresponding to the buttocks of the human body and a disposal space open toward the genital area and buttocks of the human body to take excreta discharged from the human body. A main body unit, connected to the seating unit, is mounted between the legs of the human body and has an accommodation space therein. A discharge channel is provided in the accommodation space and communicates with the disposal space to discharge the excreta in the disposal space to the outside. The body includes the gender-specific module, which is detachably provided and includes the urine disposal unit.

A excreta disposal apparatus is customized to a human body and includes a body having a seating unit, which has a shape corresponding to the curved shape of the genital area and buttocks of the human body and also has a disposal space open toward the genital area and buttocks of the human body so as to take excreta discharged from the human body. A main body unit, which is connected to the seating unit, is mountable between the legs of the human body and has a receiving space therein. A discharge channel is provided in the receiving space and communicates with the disposal space to discharge the excreta in the disposal space to the outside.

An excreta disposal apparatus includes a body having a seating unit correspondingly shaped to the curved shape of the genital area and buttocks of a human body and also has a disposal space open toward the genital area and buttocks of the human body to receive excreta discharged from the human body. A main body unit, for mounting between the legs of the human body, is connected to the seating unit and has an accommodation space therein. A discharge channel, provided in the accommodation space, communicates with the disposal space to discharge the excreta in the disposal space to the outside. A spray unit is exposed to the disposal space to spray washing water, wherein the spray unit comprises a washing unit having a rotary nozzle rotatable about a central axis and having, in the circumference thereof, spray holes for spraying the washing water.

A bedpan having a housing including a chamber, a top portion including an opening to the chamber and having an edge, a proximal surface including an apron surrounding the opening, the apron extending from an edge of the proximal surface to the edge of the opening, and a rise portion of the apron that is vertically higher than the rest of the apron. The bedpan has a bottom portion including a distal surface opposite the proximal surface, and a distal edge of the distal surface, the chamber positioned interior to the housing, the side walls of the chamber being interior to the side wall such that there is space between the walls of the chamber and the side wall. The bedpan has handles disposed on the corners of the housing.

The present application includes a system for separating solid and liquid waste through a bedpan. The system includes the bedpan, a screen member, and a storage member for liquid waste. Liquid waste is passed through the screen within the bedpan and into the storage member. The storage member is externally located outside of the bedpan. The storage member is configured to visual access by a medical professional to permit an ease of measurement and detection of liquid waste collected. The storage member is detachable and can be closed to prevent spillage during transportation.

A pouch (10) comprises a flexible bag (12) having an opening (12a) at one end, and a safety valve arranged inside the bag (12) to substantially prevent the content of the bag (12) leaving through the opening (12a). The valve comprises a first pair of sheets (22) and a second pair of sheets (24) that are bonded together locally at a plurality of spaced-apart primary bonding points (25), and a third pair of sheets (26), the first, second, and third pairs of sheets (22, 24, and 26) being bonded together locally at a plurality of spaced-apart secondary bonding points (27). The distance between the primary bonding points (25) and the distal end of the sheets of the second pair of sheets (24) varies along a transverse axis (Dt) of the bag (12).
