DEVICE

the auto-wrapping commode chair

The auto-wrapping commode chairs will seal off the excretions in a plastic bag when a button is pressed, and then prepare a new bag for next excretions. The sealed excretions will then be disposed of as usual garbage. The same staff, who are responsible for disposing of the excretions from the commodes in the pre-test, will dispose of the excretions from the auto-wrapping commode chairs during the trial.
