The Bellavita NOVA offers superb comfort for an enhanced bathing experience, in a product which is easy to install, very reliable and provides a safe and convenient way to support the continued use of your bath. Designed, developed and manufactured by our bathlift experts in Germany, the bathlift offers several new exciting patented features. It contains a patented removable backrest which can be taken out by a carer when the bathlift is in its lowest position to maximise bath space, user comfort and water immersion. A patented dual column ensures optimum stability when rising and lowering across the full height range, and excellent stability for transfers on and off the bathlift. At the touch of a button, the Bellavita NOVA gently lowers users down to the bottom of the bath. After bathing and relaxation, the bathlift smoothly raises the user back to the top to enable a safe exit. The backrest reclines to an incredible maximum angle of 50 degrees, operated easily by the hand control and enabling the user to relax in comfort. The Bellavita NOVA contains a front cut out in the seat, improving access and comfort for washing and personal hygiene. The bathlift supports a maximum user weight of 170kg (26.7st) and a very low seat height of 6.5cm (2.5") from bottom of bath for maximum water immersion makes the unit ideal for shallow baths. A high seat height of 48cm (19") enables easy and safe transfers in and out of the bath. It has an ergonomically designed backrest for lumbar support and added comfort. At 9.5kg without the handset (9.9kg with the handset), the Bellavita NOVA is very lightweight making it easy to install and remove from the bath.
