Plaspro Super Slipper Pan – Large Capacity Autoclavable Bedpan with Built-In Rear Handle

The Plaspro Super Slipper Pan is a large-capacity, heavy-duty slipper-style bedpan made from high-quality plastic — designed for patients who cannot use a standard bedpan due to limited mobility. The low-profile slipper design slides under the patient more easily than conventional bedpans, reducing patient discomfort and the effort required for nursing staff during positioning. The built-in central rear handle provides secure grip for both handling and emptying. Autoclavable to 135°C for complete sterilisation. Dimensions: W 310mm × L 450mm × H 100mm.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a slipper pan and who uses one?

A slipper pan (also called a fracture pan or low-profile bedpan) is a flatter bedpan designed for patients who cannot raise their hips sufficiently to use a conventional raised bedpan — particularly post-surgical patients (especially hip and spinal surgery), patients with hip fractures, those in traction, or patients with limited mobility. The low wedge-shaped design slides under the patient with minimal movement required, significantly reducing discomfort during use.

What does autoclavable to 135°C mean?

Autoclaving is the standard hospital sterilisation method — the item is exposed to pressurised steam at 121°C or 135°C to destroy all microorganisms including bacterial spores. The Super Slipper Pan is rated for the higher 135°C pre-vacuum autoclaving cycle used in most modern hospital CSSD (Central Sterile Supply Department) facilities, making it fully compatible with standard hospital sterilisation protocols for reusable patient equipment.

What is the difference between the Plaspro Super Slipper Pan and the standard Plaspro Slipper Pan?

The Super Slipper Pan is the larger of the two variants — providing greater capacity for high-volume use or for larger patients. Both are autoclavable with built-in rear handles. The standard Plaspro Slipper Pan (code 206) is a more compact improved-design option. For most adult patients in a hospital or residential care setting, the Super provides more comfortable capacity.

Is the Plaspro Super Slipper Pan suitable for home use?

Yes — while primarily designed for clinical settings, the Super Slipper Pan is suitable for home use by people who are bed-bound or have very limited mobility. For home care, caregivers may prefer to hand wash and disinfect with an appropriate chemical disinfectant rather than autoclaving. Ensure thorough cleaning and drying between each use.

Can I order multiple units?

Yes. The Plaspro Super Slipper Pan is available in single units — for bulk clinical orders, contact the pharmacy directly. For home and aged care facilities requiring multiple units, multiple quantities can be added to cart.
