Survey: Male Urinal Spills
After a recent stay in the Hospital – and first hand experience with products that haven’t had a design improvement since 1950 – I’m working with a major disposable medical company and I’ve got to do a sanity check.
Portable male urinals and spills there of is the subject. I spilled 1 of every three times I had to use one. A survey of nurses I know (about 10) indicated they experienced at least one spill nearly every shift worked…unless they worked in an area where most patients could walk to the bathroom (like emergency).
So…what’s your experience?
- Spills per shift
- Patients using these urinals per shift
- Area of work
- Clean up time
- Instances of finally resorting to a catheter
Thank you so much for you input…Hopefully, something can be done to increase patient dignity and make this part of your job easier.
Yep, that’s the one.
