What is a Kidney Dish?
A Kidney Dish is a shallow basin with a kidney-shaped base and sloping walls. It is commonly used in medical or surgical wards to contain soiled dressings and medical waste. The shape is specially designed so that it can be held against a patient’s body to catch any falling fluids or debris.
Facilities caring for bedridden patients, such as nursing homes, also commonly use kidney dishes. The tool plays a crucial role in the safe management of medical waste, which helps to contribute to the overall hygiene and well-being of both patients and healthcare providers.
This type of tool may also be referred to as an emesis basin. Disposable kidney dishes are manufactured from paper pulp, while reusable kidney dishes are constructed from plastic or stainless steel, which offer durability and ease of cleaning. These kidney dishes are available in a variety of sizes, including 150mm (150ml - 200ml), 200mm (400ml - 450ml), 250mm (550ml - 600ml), and 300mm (950ml - 1000ml).
