Presented is a fecal/urine management system that includes a mattress having an aperture (e.g., catchment aperture) disposed through its top surface. The catchment aperture allows positioning a patient's anus over the aperture when the patient is positioned on the mattress. Accordingly, bodily waste may be collected in the aperture and thus separated from the skin of the patient. To prevent soiling the mattress, a catchment insert is positioned within the catchment aperture. The catchment insert, in one embodiment, includes an annular platform that rests on the top surface of the mattress and catchment bag that is adapted to be positioned within the mattress aperture. The catchment bag and annular platform prevent most or all bodily waste from contacting the mattress. Further, the catchment bag is adapted for removal through the top surface of the mattress with little or no movement of the patient.

1. A fecal and urinary management system for use with bedridden persons, comprising: a mattress having a top surface and a bottom surface, said mattress further including a catchment aperture extending through said top surface in a mid portion of said mattress, said catchment aperture having a depth
1. A fecal and urinary management system for use with bedridden persons, comprising: a mattress having a top surface and a bottom surface, said mattress further including a catchment aperture extending through said top surface in a mid portion of said mattress, said catchment aperture having a depth that is at least half of the distance between said top surface and said bottom surface;an absorbent pad having an pad aperture, wherein said absorbent pad is disposed on said top surface of said mattress extending between lateral edges of said mattress and said pad aperture is at least partially disposed about said catchment aperture;a non-permeable liner having an open end attached about said pad aperture and a closed end, wherein said liner is disposed within said catchment aperture of said mattress;a semi-rigid annular platform with an inside periphery defining an aperture and an outside periphery, wherein said semi-rigid annular platform is disposed on said top surface of said mattress and said inside periphery defining said aperture is at least partially disposed about said catchment aperture and said pad aperture; anda roll of non-permeable catchment bags disposed within said non-permeable liner within said catchment aperture wherein each catchment bag includes an open end and a closed end, wherein an open end of an end bag of said roll of bags is adapted to be fit through said aperture of said semi-rigid annular platform, extend over a top surface of said semi-rigid annular platform and adhere to a bottom surface of said semi-rigid annular platform. 2. The system of claim 1, wherein said catchment aperture has a depth of at least eight inches. 3. The system of claim 1, wherein said catchment aperture extends through said mattress. 4. The system of claim 1, wherein said catchment aperture has a maximum width between about 5 inches and 7 inches and a maximum length of between about 7 inches and 12 inches. 5. The system of claim 1, wherein said catchment aperture is located in said top surface of said mattress approximately halfway across a width of the mattress and approximately halfway between a head and a foot of the mattress. 6. The system of claim 1, wherein said annular platform has a minimum width between said inside periphery and said outside periphery of about 2 inches. 7. The system of claim 1, wherein said semi rigid annular platform resists disposition within said catchment aperture and allows folding of said platform during insertion and removal of said catchment bag in said catchment aperture. 8. The system of claim 1, wherein said catchment insert further comprises: a roll of bags disposed in said catchment bag, wherein each bag includes an open end and a closed end, wherein an open end of an end one of said roll of bags is adapted to be fit over and around said annular platform. 9. The system of claim 1, wherein said catchment insert further comprises at least one of: a discharge tube having an inlet end adapted to envelop a penis of a male patient and a discharge end disposed in said catchment bag; anda scrotal diaper having an open insertion end adapted to envelop a penis and scrotum of a male patient and a closed and adapted for attachment to said annular platform. 10. A fecal and urinary management system for use with bedridden persons, comprising: a mattress having a top surface and a bottom surface, said mattress further including a catchment aperture and catchment recess extending through said top surface in a mid portion of said mattress, said catchment recess having a depth that is at least half of the distance between said top surface and said bottom surface;an absorbent pad having an pad aperture, wherein said absorbent pad is disposed on said top surface of said mattress extending between lateral edges of said mattress and said pad aperture is at least partially disposed about said catchment recess;a non-permeable liner having an open end attached about said pad aperture and a closed end, wherein said liner is disposed within said catchment recess of said mattress;a semi-rigid annular platform, having: an upper annular member having an absorbent top surface and a bottom surface;a lower annular member having a top surface and a bottom surface disposable on said top surface of said mattress; anda catchment bag having an open end disposed between said upper annular member and said lower annular member and secured about inside peripheries of apertures in said annular members, wherein said bottom surface of upper annular member and said top surface of said lower annular member are connected and said apertures of said annular members collectively define an annular platform aperture at least partially disposed about said catchment aperture and said pad aperture, and wherein said catchment bag is disposed within said non-permeable liner within said catchment recess.
