COMMODE LINER

With Super Absorbent Pad

The increase in MRSA, VRE, Acinetobacter and Enterococcus species over the past decade raises

concerns that residual contaminants remaining after cleaning reusable or disposable commodes or bedpans by standard methods may serve as a reservoir for pathogens. The emergence of

1,2,3,4,5

highly toxic and resistant strains of Clostridium difficile first noted in 2005 make this even more of a concern.

The single-use CareBag Commode Liner with super

absorbent pad is designed to safely collect, transport, and dispose of body fluids, thus avoiding unpleasant hand cleaning of the pail. The super absorbent pad turns liquid waste (urine, diarrhea, blood, serous fluid) into a gel within seconds. When used to line the commode, both the user and care taker are protected from the spread of pathogenic organisms by direct or indirect contact, thus minimizing risk of cross infection.
