A bedpan assembly comprises a bedpan having a base wall and an enclosing wall extending upwardly from the base wall, the base wall and the enclosing wall defining a receiving volume, and an insert complementarily shaped with a portion of the enclosing wall and engageable with a complementarily-shaped portion of the enclosing wall in an inserted position. The insert comprises an upper wall which, when the insert is in the inserted position, overlies or overhangs the base wall. The separately-formed insert which is engageable with, and receivable in, the receiving volume of the bedpan immediately prior to use facilitates storage of the bedpans prior to use (e.g. they can be stacked together) and reduces the likelihood of spillage when the bedpan assembly is removed for disposal.

A casket assembly includes a base, and first and second fabric sheets. The base includes a bottom panel, first and second side panels, and first and second end panels. The base has a length and a width sized and adapted to receive a deceased. The first fabric sheet is operably coupled to the base such that the first fabric sheet extends along and adjacent to an inside surface of the first side panel and an edge of the first fabric sheet is movable. The first fabric sheet is sized and coupled to substantially cover a width of the bottom panel. The second fabric sheet is operably coupled to the base such that the second fabric sheet extends along and adjacent to an inside surface of the second side panel and an edge of the second fabric sheet is movable. The second fabric sheet is sized to substantially cover the width of the bottom panel.

A disinfecting cover for use in disinfecting a weight bearing upper surface of a resilient medical patient pressure redistribution support includes a thin barrier membrane drapable on top of the weight bearing upper surface of the resilient support, and a peripherally-extending edge terminating between the peripherally-extending side of the resilient support between the weight bearing upper surface and the bottom surface of the support. The thin barrier membrane comprises an anti-microbial disinfectant, and being non-fibrous, and impervious to the transfer of fluid from the first main surface to the second main surface. The thin barrier membrane comprises a thickness operable to maintain the weight distribution of a patient on the weight bearing upper surface of the resilient medical patient pressure redistribution support substantially the same compared to the weight distribution without the thin barrier membrane.

There is described a bariatric wheelchair, in particular a manual wheelchair, that includes a wheelchair chassis, a seating area provided on the wheelchair chassis, a backrest supported onto the wheelchair chassis, as well as front wheels and rear wheels provided on the wheelchair chassis to allow wheeling of the wheelchair. The backrest exhibits a lower backrest portion supported onto the wheelchair chassis, next to the seating area, the seating area and lower backrest portion having a first width (W1) that is selected to accommodate a wheelchair user's nominal hips width (WH) ranging between 500 millimeters and 800 millimeters. The backrest further exhibits an upper backrest portion, in the vicinity of the wheelchair user's shoulders, having a second width (W2) that is smaller than the first width (W1), which second width (W2) is selected to liberate space for movement of the wheelchair user's arms and shoulders and so as not to exceed a wheelchair user's nominal shoulder articulation width (WS) ranging between 400 millimeters and 600 millimeters.

There is described a wheelchair, in particular a manual wheelchair for bariatric or heavy-duty use, that includes a wheelchair chassis, a seating area, a backrest, as well as front wheels and rear wheels, said backrest having a backrest frame supported onto the wheelchair chassis. The wheelchair further includes a rolling support structure forming an integral part of the wheelchair, which rolling support structure is mounted on a rear portion of the wheelchair to support the wheelchair in an upright position in which the wheelchair is tilted back and is supported by the rolling support structure to allow displacement of the wheelchair in the upright position. The rolling support structure includes at least three, in particular four, rolling elements providing rolling support for the wheelchair in the upright position. The rolling elements preferably provide omnidirectional rolling support for the wheelchair in the upright position, and may in particular be ball casters

A sit-down bathing configuration comprises includes: a seated shower device with an open area under its sitting surface, and a mobile bathing chair; wherein the seat of the mobile bathing chair can be fitted above the sitting surface of the seated shower device and the mobile bathing chair can be wheeled in and out of the shower device.

The present invention relates to a single use, non-expandable, disposable container for holding a liquid, in particular a body liquid, the container comprising: —a bottom wall, —a circumferential side wall which extends in an upward direction from the bottom wall, wherein the circumferential side wall defines an upper opening ( ) at an upper end ( ) of the container, —a first folding flap and a second folding flap which are connected via a respective first folding line and a second folding line to opposed sections of an upper edge of the circumferential side wall, wherein the first and second folding flaps are foldable between an open position and a closed position, wherein in the open position of the folding flaps the circumferential side wall and the folding flaps taper outwardly in an upward direction, allowing the container to be nested, and wherein the folding flaps have a varying flap width, wherein the flap width reaches a maximum at a central portion of the folding flaps, and wherein said maximum flap width is smaller than a bottom width of the bottom wall, wherein during the folding of the folding flaps the folding flaps are deformed, wherein when seen in front view, during the folding of the folding flaps from the open position to the closed position, the circumferential side wall deforms from the outwardly tapering form to an inwardly tapering form.
