Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
  • Can the bag or pad be in contact with skin?
    Although isn’t meant to go directly on the skin, the bag is made of polyethylene and the pad does not contain any irritating or dangerous substance.


  • Does the pad only absorb urine?
    No. It absorbs all liquids such as blood and plasma. It can absorb 1 liter of water, about 500 ml of urine.

  • How can I manage if I need to make a 24 hour urine collection for analysis?
    Then you have to put the pad in the hygienic cover after taking the samples for analysis.

  • How can I put the Hygienic Cover®under a heavy patient?
    You have to hold the hygienic cover tightly around the bedpad by its sliding ties.

  • I do not want to change the habits of my staff and to have the obligation to recuperate the hygienic cover immediately after use.
    You don’t need to do so. The super absorbent pad of the hygienic cover contains an anti-odour system that stops the diffusion of bad smells during many hours when the bag is properly closed. As such, you can leave a bag full of waste in the patient’s room for several hours with out it causing any nuisance.

  • I don’t need the Hygienic Cover®, I just purchased a bedpan-washer.
    With the hygienic cover, you avoid all problems related to the clogging of bedpan-washers. Furthermore, many publications showed that no bedpan-washer is 100% efficient to decontaminate bedpans, and the efficiency is further reduced in the case of soiled bedpans.

  • I don’t need the Hygienic Cover®, I rarely use a bedpan.
    The hygienic cover is absolutely recommended because even for occasional use, the bags can be of great service to you.

  • I like the Hygienic Cover®, but can’t I use a regular garbage bag in the bedpan?
    The hygienic cover was especially designed to be adjusted to all bedpans; its double soldered joint avoids all risk of liquid spilling over. The super absorbent pad avoids the transportation of liquid – no risk of splashing, soiling, germs scattering.


  • In which hospital departments can the Hygienic Cover® be used?
    All services using bedpans, but primarily: isolation services, haematology, imagery, dialysis, transfusion, cancer treatment centres.
