A disposable female urinal bottle (the EasyWee tm pending) improves patient experience for immobilised females with lower limb fractures

Female patients with lower limb fractures often experience pain and loss of dignity when manoeuvred onto a bedpan. Poor bladder management, including urinary catheterisation for convenience, can lead to longer hospital stays and eventual loss of independence. Disposable pulp male urinal bottles have been modified into a shape that accommodates the female perineum but they have not been used consistently, the design has varied depending on the fabricator and no formal evidence supported their use.
