Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -These bedpan products are specifically created for patients and individuals who are recovering from a hip fracture or hip replacement. This kind of bedpan can also be used by patients who are not able to roll over or raise their hips high enough for a traditional bedpan.

Detailed explanation-2: -There are 2 types of bedpans: regular or fracture. The regular bedpan is larger than its fracture counterpart. The fracture pan has one flat end for ease of use with specific patient populations: i.e., hip fractures, hip replacements, or lower extremity fractures.

Detailed explanation-3: -If the hips can’t be lifted or placed in a sitting position, try using a fracture pan! Patients who have had a hip replacement surgery can benefit from this low profile bedpan. Fracture pans are also ideal substitutes for a female urinal.

Detailed explanation-4: -The PCP 6095 Fracture Pan is designed specifically for those who have had a hip fracture or are recovering from hip replacement. This type of bedpan may be used for those who cannot raise their hips high enough or to roll over onto a regular size bed pan. Specifications: Easy grip handle on both front and sides.

Detailed explanation-5: -Description. Why use a fracture bedpan and not a regular bedpan? A fracture bedpan is smaller and goes under the patient from the front and alleviates the need of turning the patient. This helps to reduce discomfort and possible re-injuring of the fracture.
