How it works

Three engineered systems, one 33-second cycle.

Press once. VELLA handles reach, heat, and hygiene on its own — nothing touches the skin but clean, warm air.

  1. Two VELLA handles shown at different neck angles.

    STEP 01

    Modular ergonomic handle

    A 128° neck and 310 mm reach put the nozzle where you need it while seated — no twisting, no bending, no help required. The head detaches for cleaning or replacement.

  2. Close-up of the VELLA precision nozzle.

    STEP 02

    Smart thermal sensor

    Outlet air is measured 100 times a second and hard-capped at 43 °C. If the sensor reads high, power cuts before the next breath of air leaves the nozzle. Anti-scald by architecture, not by warning label.

  3. Cutaway of the VELLA head showing the internal sterilised air path.

    STEP 03

    UVC air-sterilisation loop

    Intake air passes a sealed UVC-LED chamber before it is warmed, and the dock purges and irradiates the nozzle between uses. Clean air in, clean air out, nothing damp left sitting.

The cycle, second by second

Three phases run automatically: high-velocity displacement, low-humidity evaporation, then a gentle warm finish. One button, one cycle, no guessing.

  1. Airflow displacing water from the nozzle. Film drive — moves standing water off the skin 0–8 s
  2. Warm low-humidity airflow from the nozzle. Evaporate — dry air lifts residual moisture 8–30 s
  3. Gentle warm airflow finishing the cycle. Finish — warm comfort pass, then auto-off 30–33 s

Who it's for

Choose the person you're drying for.

Four very different bathrooms, one appliance. Pick a path and we'll show you what changes.

Perineal care that doesn't make you flinch.

Weeks four through twelve, patting dry with paper is the part nobody warns you about. VELLA removes the contact entirely — stitches, swelling and tearing never meet friction.

  • No wiping over stitches, tears or hemorrhoids
  • Reaches without twisting after a c-section
  • Pairs with peri bottles and postpartum sprays
  • Quiet enough for night feeds and shared walls

Independence, without a carer in the room.

310 mm of reach and a 128° neck mean the nozzle gets there when the hand can't. One large button, one cycle, no fine motor control needed.

  • Seated, one-handed operation — no bending or twisting
  • Single tactile button with LED and haptic confirmation
  • Dock-mounted so it never has to be picked off the floor
  • Reduces carer-assisted toileting and skin-breakdown risk

Dry skin is the whole diaper-rash strategy.

Trapped moisture is what turns a clean bottom into a rash. A low-heat pass dries every fold in seconds, on a changing table, without another wipe.

  • 43 °C hard cap, verified 100 times per second
  • Low-noise mode so it doesn't startle a newborn
  • Detachable head — sterilise it, or swap it per child
  • Fewer wipes, less cream, no rubbing on raw skin

The last missing piece after a bidet.

You solved washing. Drying is still a wad of paper. Thirty-three seconds of sterilised warm air finishes the job and takes the household's paper habit with it.

  • Completes the wash-and-dry loop without paper
  • UVC-sterilised intake, dock purges moisture between uses
  • IPX7 rated for wet, humid bathrooms
  • Travel pouch and USB-C dock for hotels and flights

The device

A wellness appliance, not a bathroom gadget.

Matte soft-touch shell, one physical button, magnetic dock that purges moisture after every cycle. It reads as something you'd leave on the counter — because you will.

Four colour-coded hygiene heads lined up beside the docked VELLA device.

Questions people actually ask

Outlet temperature is capped at 43 °C and sampled 100 times per second; if the reading drifts, the heater cuts before the next volume of air leaves the nozzle. Airflow is high-velocity and low-heat by design — it displaces water rather than baking it off.

Nothing touches you. Intake air passes a sealed UVC-LED chamber, the head detaches for cleaning or replacement, and the dock purges and irradiates the nozzle after every cycle instead of leaving it damp.

Yes — the hygiene head is detachable, so each person can have their own. Heads are dishwasher-safe and sold in sets of two.
