Inflatable bedpan with outer-edge cinch-closure waste bag system

An inflatable bedpan waste-management system configured to be installed on an inflatable bedpan that supports a user during toileting and configured to permit cinch-closure of an inner containment bag from an inter-ring access region located between a seat ring and a support ring of the inflatable bedpan at an outer perimeter of the inflatable bedpan, the inflatable bedpan waste-management system comprising:

• an outer containment bag comprising an upper perimeter portion configured to be positioned over the seat ring or over the support ring of the inflatable bedpan;
• a plurality of cinch holes formed through the outer containment bag at one or more intermediate locations between the upper perimeter portion and a bottom of the outer containment bag;
• the inner containment bag configured to be positioned within the outer containment bag;
• and
• a cinch string configured to be threaded through the plurality of cinch holes of the outer containment bag to present one or more graspable portions of the cinch string on an exterior side of the outer containment bag when the inner containment bag is positioned within the outer containment bag;
• wherein the inflatable bedpan waste-management system is specially adapted such that, when the outer containment bag is installed on the inflatable bedpan and the inner containment bag is positioned within the outer containment bag, the one or more graspable portions are presented adjacent to the inter-ring access region and are accessible from the inter-ring access region, the inter-ring access region being outwardly facing and accessible from outside the inflatable bedpan.

An inflatable bedpan waste-management system configured to support a user during toileting and configured to permit cinch-closure of an inner containment bag from an inter-ring access region located between a seat ring and a support ring of an inflatable bedpan at an outer perimeter of the inflatable bedpan, the inflatable bedpan waste-management system comprising:

• an inflatable bedpan comprising the seat ring and the support ring, the inflatable bedpan defining a waste-receiving opening, wherein the waste-receiving opening is defined by at least one of the seat ring and the support ring;
• a seat air valve in fluid communication with the seat ring;
• a base air valve in fluid communication with the support ring;
• an outer containment bag configured to be removably installed on the inflatable bedpan;
• a plurality of cinch holes formed through the outer containment bag;
• an inner containment bag configured to be positioned within the outer containment bag;
• and
• a cinch string threaded through the plurality of cinch holes of the outer containment bag to present one or more graspable portions of the cinch string on an exterior side of the outer containment bag;
• wherein the inter-ring access region is outwardly facing and accessible from outside the inflatable bedpan;
• wherein the cinch string is configured to cinch closed the inner containment bag after receipt of human waste;
• wherein the outer containment bag is configured to remain installed on the inflatable bedpan after the inner containment bag is cinched closed and removed for disposal;
• and
• wherein the inflatable bedpan is configured to be transitioned between a semi-inflated state and an inflated state via the seat air valve and the base air valve, and is configured to be collapsed by venting an inflation fluid through at least one of the seat air valve and the base air valve.
