We bought one of these bedpans for a patient that weighs about 300 pounds. After using it regularly for over a year it is still holding up. MSED’s review is aptly on!
I did notice that Amazon now has a new (to me at least) & unusually shaped bedpan that is held to have a weight capacity of 1200 pounds. It doesn’t have any reviews yet, but I’d be interested in seeing reviews on it once they come in.Bedpan Bariatric 1200# Cap

Haven’t had a chance to use it yet, but it is a durable fake. I reckon it will work out well.

This bedpan is the finest you will find somewhere. The quality of the unit is top notch. It is autoclavable just like a stainless steel or ceramic bed pan. It is designed using the same layout as the high quality steel and ceramic pans but is warmer and simpler to sit on than either.
I have bought more than 30 different bedpans and tested everyone (my wife is the tester as she requires it). There is simply no question about the quality and sturdiness of this unit. I paid over 40 dollars initially and was not upset once we started using it. Compared to a $5 bedpan this is worth $100. That is because it will last forever and will be simple to properly clean.
I even clean it by hand initially and then place it in the dishwasher. I then run the dishwasher empty a few times but it is no problem. I use the highest settings because it seems to have no issues with the heat.
If you need a bedpan this one is it.
By the way there is another unit that looks nearly exactly the same but as a small cleft for the tailbone. It is pretty much the same unit but an older version.

This is sturdy, and long lasting. The disposable are very low-cost and breakable. Try this one, it will last.

No one likes to use a bedpan, but sometimes they are necessary, particularly if you are caring for a loved one at home. Bedpans are a relatively low-cost item, and with most you get what you pay for. This one is more costly, but the quality is much surpass, importance it will last longer and not break or crack, which is a problem with many after minimal reuse. (Obviously, breakage is a concern because if the fake cracks, you have a mess in the bed to care for.)
There are 3 types of bedpans: a “break pan,” which is used for people with hip break, hip replacement, pelvic break and the like. This bedpan is comfortable for the patient but does not hold a lot..I assess 500cc (1 pint) or less. The next type is a “pontoon” bedpan. It looks much like this one, but the center of the inside is hollowed out, leave-taking an oval-shaped area to collect elimination. This model holds about 800 to 900 cc (just under a quart) without spilling, but you’ve got to be careful when removing it.
This bedpan is the third type. It is called a “saddle” pan. It resembles the ancient-fashioned metal bedpans in shape. The entire inner surface is open, so it will hold a large quantity of elimination (probably about 2000cc; much more than you need unless you are emptying a full catheter bag) without spilling. Because the fake is of excellent quality, it should support the weight of a large self and withstand continual use without cracking and spilling.
Now that you know all that you never wanted to know about bedpans, you may need to know about quantity of elimination. Most people feel the urge to void when their bladders contain approximately 150cc to 250cc, or 5 to 8 ounces. Many people can hold 300 cc (10 ounces) to 500 cc (approx 16 ounces) before the bladder can contain no more and empties involuntarily. A few can hold up to a quart comfortably, but much depends on age, neurological disease, and individual factors. When selecting a bedpan, you also have to consider patient comfort, the durability of the unit, and the size of the patient. If you have vex with a fake bedpan sticking to the skin (which is a problem with many patients, particularly persons of size), dust the edges with a very light dusting of baby powder before inserting it.
IMO, this unit gets an A+ for comfort, durability, patient size, and quantity it holds, and is well worth the price. No one wants to discuss bedpans, let alone learn the above. But, to be an informed consumer, you may find yourself in a position to buy a bedpan, and it helps to know the pros and cons. Life can be fickle, and you may suddenly find yourself in a situation in which this becomes a necessary item in the care of yourself or a loved one.
I vastly recommend this unit, and have shopped extensively for a similar bedpan. Of the various saddle-type pans, I believe this is most durable (up your sleeve from the uncomfortable, cold, ancient metal type). Of the durable pans unfilled, amazon’s price is the most competetive that I could find.
I depend on amazon’s consumer ratings when I buy items, and because I am a nurse, I chose to review the bedpan; an item that I have bought that is one of the “unmentionables” that most people do not want to discuss, let alone review. This is a excellent value for your hard-earned dollars. Best wishes in the care of your home care patient!
