Abstract

These new inventions aim to solve problems that are related to healthcare concerns. Each invention is designed to scope the needs of patients whether they are at home, in a nursing home, or a hospital facility. These products are designed to be hassle-free when removing them on and off the patient. Both of them will provide privacy, safety, and dignity allowing the patients to be respected. The privacy jacket is a two component garment with a medium top pocket on the left side. It also has an opening at the arm and neck with three snaps down the right side. The privacy jacket shields the body and provide warmth while the patient is using it, and it has a secret pocket inside the back panel. The pocket holds the collapsible disposable bucket. The disposable bucket is comprised of a soft, molded texture, with padded sections that absorbs both feces and urine. It has flexible elastic wings that expand into a bucket to fit underneath the shower chair. These devices will help improve the way patients receive healthcare.
