Deskripsyon
The Kidney Dish, also known as an emesis basin, is a shallow basin with a kidney-shaped base and sloping walls. It is commonly used in medical and surgical wards to receive soiled dressings and other medical waste. Here are the key points:
-
Purpose:
- The Kidney Dish is designed to collect soiled dressings, fluids, and other waste during medical procedures.
- Its shape allows it to be held against the patient’s body to catch any falling fluids or debris.
-
Specifications:
- Volume: Generally, the volume of a pulp kidney dish (or “vomit dish”) is 700 mL.
- Dimensions: Its length ranges from 25 cm to 26 cm, and its width is approximately 11 cm.
- Materials:
- Reusable kidney dishes are usually made of stainless steel.
- Disposable versions can be made of paper pulp or plastic.
-
Use Cases:
- Contrary to its name, emesis basins are not typically used for vomiting due to their shallow depth and sloping walls.
- Instead, they are well-suited for controlled situations, such as:
- Collecting runoff during wound cleaning.
- Holding fluids during minor medical procedures.
-
Advantages:
- The concave inner rim conforms to the curve of the body, making it easy to use.
- Disposable molded pulp kidney dishes are replacing reusable ones to reduce cross-communication of pathogens.
