The Sputum Cup (Article# LS11-175) is a cylindrical stainless-steel container with a hinged, oval-profile lid that opens and closes on a fixed side-mounted hinge bracket. The lid is slightly wider than the cup body, creating a secure overlap that keeps contents sealed during patient use and transport. A small flat thumb tab extends from the lid edge, allowing the patient or clinician to flip the lid open without direct finger contact with the rim. The body carries a mirror-polished exterior finish on both the cup and lid surfaces, and an integrated side bracket with a circular ring mount allows the cup to attach directly to a bed rail or stand pole.

The cup body maintains a straight-walled cylindrical form with a flat sealed base, fabricated from a single piece of medical-grade stainless steel. The hinge mechanism connects the lid to the body through a riveted stainless-steel barrel, producing a firm open-and-close action without lid wobble. This sputum cup price-competitive construction involves no plastic components, coatings, or rubber gaskets — the entire assembly tolerates full autoclave sterilization and repeated chemical disinfection without joint degradation.

Respiratory therapists, pulmonologists, and ward nurses use the Sputum Cup for sputum collection from patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, tuberculosis, pneumonia, and post-operative respiratory conditions. The hinged lid containing expelled sputum immediately after expectoration reduces airborne pathogen dispersal in ward environments. The bed-rail mounting bracket keeps the cup within patient reach at all times without occupying tray table space, a feature particularly valued in long-term respiratory care units. Sputum cups at best price also find regular use in bronchoscopy suites for collected secretion storage during the procedure.

Leader Surgical produces this cup with a robust hinge assembly and consistent polish quality, delivering a clinically functional, durable vessel that meets the daily demands of respiratory wards and acute care settings equally well.

When is the best time to collect a sample?
Early morning is ideal. Sputum (mucus) accumulates in the lungs overnight, making it easier to cough up a concentrated sample.
