Using the Sitz Bath

The NOVA Sitz Bath is designed to fit most standard toilets and provide a convenient way to soak the perineal area. It includes a 2000 mL solution bag and an On/Off control clip that allows the user to control the flow of solution during use.

Setting Up the Sitz Bath

Place the Sitz Bath securely on a compatible standard toilet before use and connect the included solution bag according to the instructions supplied with the product. Make sure the basin and tubing are properly positioned before filling or beginning treatment.

• Make sure the Sitz Bath is securely positioned on the toilet before sitting down.
• Use the included 2000 mL solution bag as directed.
• Use the On/Off control clip to control the flow of solution from the bag.
• Follow any specific solution, water-temperature, or treatment-duration instructions provided by your healthcare professional.

What Is a Sitz Bath Used For?

NOVA states that the Sitz Bath is designed to aid in relieving discomfort associated with perineal conditions. The manufacturer’s product page specifically mentions hemorrhoids, menstrual cramps, and bladder or prostate infections; however, the Sitz Bath should not be considered a treatment for the underlying cause of an infection or other medical condition.
