These are also used in surgery for sponges and other stuff. Of course those are metal and can be autoclaved.
Used to work ER also and we used the disposible ones for dips etc.
Many years ago a young man who had not been provided with a urinal handed me one of these that was full to the brim with urine. I have never figured out how he did that........he was on bedrest and ordered to stay on his back.......? YIKES
