KODRA GmbH & Co. KG

KODRA GmbH & Co. KG – The Inventor of the Bedpan Washer

In 1931, Walter Fischer invented the world’s first washer-disinfector for bedpans, laying the foundation for what would become a German benchmark: to this day, the term “KODRA-Spüle” is still used synonymously with bedpan washers across the country.

KODRA designs and manufactures premium bedpan washers, care combinations, and hygienic workstations for healthcare facilities – all engineered and produced in Germany. All devices comply with DIN EN ISO 15883-3, offering exceptional cleaning performance, robust stainless steel construction, and unmatched durability.

KODRA is the only manufacturer worldwide to offer four distinct washing technologies – including the patented Water Guide Paddle system, which operates without vulnerable pumps and ensures particularly low-maintenance operation. The Cleanius & multiclean product line offers an ergonomic and dignified alternative to conventional bedpans, developed in collaboration with healthcare professionals and awarded the iF Design Award.
