Bedpan disposer addresses environmental concerns

During the disposal cycle in which up to four pulp product bedpans are broken up and disposed of, only 16 litres of cold water are used against the industry average of 25-30 litres. Electrical rating is also low with only 590 watts.

On the average 30 bed ward, savings per year of around 280 kW of electricity and 80,000 litres of water can be made.

This helps to meet local authority energy saving targets and the NHS Directive on mandatory energy/carbon efficiency targets.
