Using the Male Urinal

The NOVA Male Urinal with Cover provides a portable toileting option when getting out of bed or reaching a bathroom is difficult. Its contoured opening is designed to provide a secure seal during use, while the open grip handle allows the urinal to be held and positioned in multiple ways.

Positioning the Urinal

NOVA specifically states that the grip handle allows the urinal to be used in multiple positions, including by bedridden users. The manufacturer does not provide a model-specific positioning procedure, so the urinal should be positioned according to the user’s mobility, comfort, and established care instructions.

• Make sure the urinal is clean and empty before use.
• Use the open grip handle to hold and position the urinal as needed.
• Position the contoured opening securely before use to help reduce the potential for spills.
• Use appropriate caregiver assistance when the user cannot safely position or handle the urinal independently.

Capacity and Measurements

The urinal has a manufacturer-listed capacity of 1000 mL, or approximately 1 quart, and provides visible measurements of its contents. NOVA’s formal specifications also list the bucket volume as 32 ounces.

Using the Cover

NOVA’s updated design includes an improved spill-resistant lid. The cover is designed to help contain the contents and prevent odor when the urinal is not actively being used.

Bedside and Vehicle Use

NOVA specifically identifies the grip-handle design as suitable for multiple-position use by bedridden users as well as use in a vehicle. Make sure the urinal is securely closed with the cover before moving or transporting it after use.

Important Use Information

• Inspect the urinal and cover before use and discontinue use if the plastic becomes cracked or damaged.
• Make sure the contoured opening is properly positioned during use.
• Use appropriate caregiver assistance when the user cannot safely position or handle the urinal independently.
• Secure the spill-resistant cover appropriately when the urinal is not in use.
• Avoid overfilling the urinal beyond its manufacturer-listed capacity.
