A male urinal with a cover keeps overnight toileting private and contained, which matters when the client is sharing a room or when the bottle sits within reach for hours between empties.
The cover holds odour down and reduces spills if the bottle is knocked, so it suits clients who use it lying down or who have a weak grip and need to manage it one handed.
For anyone whose night time mobility is poor, this is part of a sensible falls plan: the trip to the bathroom in the dark is the one most likely to end badly, and this removes it.
