Toilet Totes™ was invented by an ER Nurse in 2012 who saw the problems with current methods of toileting patients and said – “There has to be a better way”. Toilet Totes™ was born!
The business was run by Molly and Terry until September of 2018 when it was sold to new ownership. We’re excited to continue the legacy and honor the history of this product. We’re even more excited for the future and what this means to our world with helping patients, hospital staff, administrators and ultimately the Hospital Systems provide better, low-cost care solutions to the problems with Hospital Acquired Infections.
Minnesota has an incredible Medical Legacy with several major Medical Equipment Manufacturers in the region and boasts the largest medical equipment manufacturing market in the United States! We will continue to follow in the wake of these Titans and manufacture Toilet Totes™ right here in Minnesota. “Minnesota Made” has a great ring to it!
We look forward to your continued support and partnerships!
Toilet Totes prioritize cleanliness, convenience, and hygiene, addressing the primary drawbacks of using a traditional commode bucket.
When comparing the use of “Toilet Totes” (disposable liners) versus a standard commode bucket, here’s a breakdown of the key benefits:
- Enhanced Hygiene:
- Toilet Totes provide a barrier, minimizing direct contact with waste, which significantly reduces the risk of germ transmission.
- The disposable nature of the totes eliminates the need to clean a soiled bucket, which can be a difficult and unsanitary task.
- Mess-Free Disposal:
- The totes are designed for easy sealing and disposal, preventing spills and leaks.
- This simplifies the cleanup process, making it much more convenient, especially for those with limited mobility.
- Odor Control:
- By containing the waste within a sealed bag, Toilet Totes help to minimize unpleasant odors.
- This is a major improvement over open buckets, which can emit strong smells.
- Convenience:
- Toilet Totes offer a quick and efficient solution for waste disposal, saving time and effort.
- This is especially valuable for caregivers and individuals who require frequent use of portable commodes.
- Increased User Comfort:
- The use of Toilet Totes can create a more pleasant and dignified experience for the user, as it reduces the anxiety and discomfort associated with messy cleanup.
