Stands designed to hold one or more hamper bags (i.e., hamper liners) without slipping. These stands typically consist of a slender metallic frame structure and frequently include a plastic (e.g., polypropylene) cover for the attached bag. Hamper stands may be used for temporary storage of laundry; smaller, lighter, and portable hamper stands that can support sterilization (e.g., steam sterilization) are used in isolation procedures for temporary storage of contaminated products (e.g., cloth, bandages), minimizing cross-contamination and odor. Disposable plastic hamper stands for single-patient use are also available.
