Devices used by bedridden patients as receptacles for urine and feces. Fracture bedpans are designed specifically to include an edge of minimal height to ease insertion under those patients who may have difficulty rolling onto their side and/or lifting their buttocks high enough to allow for use of a regular bedpan. Examples of such patients include those persons with fractures of the hip, pelvis, spine, femur, tibia/fibula, etc.
