If the person you're caring for is not able to leave their bed to go to the bathroom, they may need to use a urinal. A urinal is a container used to collect urine. It is shaped to fit either a man or a woman. But some women might find it easier to use a bedpan.

When would a urinal be used?

It is most frequently used in health care for patients who find it impossible or difficult to get out of bed during sleep. Urinals allow the patient who has cognition and movement of their arms to urinate without the help of staff. Urinals can also be used as part of input and output measurement.
