Lavatory Water Closets for Patient Care Units

Lavatory water closets for patient care units are designed to serve the needs of patients, staff, and medical facility designers.  Patients can use facilities which are far more sanitary, far more comfortable, and much less embarrassing.

These combination sink and toilet units, which come in six unique model designs, are also much easier for patients to access than a single commode in a shared restroom.  Located right next to the patient’s bed, they offer more privacy and less embarrassment. 

Because they are compact, combination fixtures, they are also much easier to clean than an entire restroom with four walls, a four, and fixtures in multiple locations.

The basic design that each model is based on is amazingly practical.  Based on years of study that contributed to the efficiency of the form, the unit consists of a toilet that is concealed inside a molded decorative cabinet.  When the toilet is not in use, it resides in an enclosed space.  Odors and waste are isolated as a result, which makes for a more hygienic and more psychologically positive recovery experience.

At the top of the lavatory water closets for patient care units is a fully functional sink with its own water source.  There is also a counter space that can be utilized, when appropriate, for various medical tests and treatments.  Caregivers benefit from the convenient proximity of the unit as much as patients do. 

In those situations where patients must have assistance using the restroom, it is far better for both the caregiver and the patient to have all necessary washroom fixtures located right next to the patient’s bed.  A simple room divider or sheet between patient beds is all that is necessary to ensure the patient as much privacy as a closed public restroom provides.

Lavatory water closets for patient care units are obviously invaluable to those involved in protracted hospitals stays where a long recovery period is to be expected.  At the same time, they have proven invaluable in a number of other medical care environments where the convenience of a small, accessible, all in one washroom unit proves invaluable to particular forms of testing, treatment, and care.

One particular care industry that has greatly benefited from their use is the nursing home industry.  Elderly patients can have their own personal facilities that require no waiting or sharing with fellow residents.  This simple feeling of ownership is important to many aging patients, and it helps greatly in making a nursing home feel more like a home to those who may be spending their final years in a facility.

Smaller facilities have also saved a tremendous amount of money on restroom construction costs by purchasing an appropriate number of lavatory water closets for patient care units.  Small test labs and local clinics have been able to better utilize existing floor space because they do not have to sacrifice precious square footage to a restroom.

They also offer a more successful, and much more personal, facility to patients in rehabilitation centers.  Other applications where lavatory water closets for patient care units work extremely well include oncology labs, proctology care, X-ray labs, gastrointestinal care, and critical and telemetry care.
