Spittons
Free!
Spittons are floor-standing stainless steel spittoons used to collect saliva and sputum safely in hospitals, clinics and nursing homes. The deep bowl on a sturdy tripod stand keeps spills off the floor and allows patients to expectorate comfortably from the bedside or chair. Easy to clean, disinfect and reuse, these units provide a long-lasting, hygienic solution for facilities that prioritise infection control and patient comfort.
Description
Spittons are floor-standing stainless steel spittoons designed for clean, safe collection of saliva, sputum and other patient fluids in medical and clinical settings. The unit consists of a deep, round stainless steel bowl securely fixed on a stable tripod stand, keeping the receptacle close to the patient while protecting floors and surroundings from contamination. This design is especially helpful for bed-ridden, post-operative or respiratory patients who need to expectorate frequently and hygienically.

Typical Applications
Spittons are commonly used in hospital wards, tuberculosis and respiratory units, isolation rooms, dental and ENT clinics, diagnostic centres and nursing homes. Compared with makeshift bowls or disposable containers, a stainless steel spittoon offers far better stability, longevity and hygiene, while also giving caregivers a more controlled way to handle contaminated fluids. It is a small but essential accessory for any facility focused on maintaining a clean, safe and dignified environment for patients and staff.
