Utility Basins

Utility basins, also called wash basins or patient basins are durable plastic containers used for a wide range of patient care tasks. Common uses include sponge baths, wound cleansing, limb soaking, fluid collection, and general bedside hygiene. Their lightweight build, easy-grip rims, and graduated markings make them a staple tool for caregivers and healthcare professionals in both clinical and home care environments.
