Unomedical, its manufacturer, reports that the urinal is 100% leak-proof and incorporates a non-return valve that eliminates the risk of contact with infected urine and urinal spillage.
Made of strong, transparent polyethylene, so that nurses can quickly check urine quality and level, the urinal also has a dipstick reservoir for urine testing.
Several bags can be hung on a hook, and an integrated carrying handle facilitates discreet bedside storage after use.
Unomedical reports that it has been intensively tested by Kathryn Harris, Urology Nurse Specialist at Southmead Hospital in Bristol, UK, who found the product to be overall very cost effective in terms of the time saved.
