Movable washstand and associated folding cart

Abstract

A movable washstand comprises a device for supplying water having a spray nozzle, a head rest, a catch basin, drain and bladder for temporarily holding discharge water and effluent and an electrical outlet, all mounted on a C-shaped frame with wheels that allow easy portability. A dual line extension hose having an inlet line, outlet line and quick connect capabilities allow the unit to be connected to a remote sink. An on-board extension cord allows the unit to be plugged into a remote electrical supply. The base of the cart slides under a bed and out the way while the catch basin is positioned under a patient's head. The height of the catch basin is adjustable to accommodate different bed configurations. The upper and lower members of the cart are hinged so that they fold over onto themselves transforming the unit into an extremely portable unit. A self-supporting movable wash pan is also disclosed that minimizes displacement of a patient.
