Medical Device CE 0086, class I sterile.
Disposable, self-lubricating hydrophilic urinary catheter with sterile saline solution (water, sodium chloride) included in the package, for intermittent catheterization. The catheter is hydrated in a sterile environment. The catheter surface is made with Urotonic Surface Technology: the combination of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) and saline solution (water and sodium chloride) makes the LoFric Sense catheter coating is isotonic with urine after activation. Each product's individual packaging allows for handling without direct contact with the catheter body.
- tear-off opening
- the same package can be used as a container to dispose of the catheter hygienically and discreetly after use.

All LoFric Sense catheters can be connected to standard urine collection bags.
Advantages - Simple and intuitive opening
- Adhesive label for hanging the package on any dry and clean surface
- Immediate activation: Urotonic Surface Technology reduces friction during catheterization, ensures comfort and reduces the risk of long-term complications
- Presence of a specific handle that guarantees a good grip for better control and allows the “no-touch” technique
- Atraumatic lateral drainage holes for improved comfort
- The packaging is such as to guarantee maximum discretion
- The packaging allows for disposal with maximum discretion
-
PVC FREE : POBE, a polyolefin-based elastomer, has a low environmental impact throughout its entire life cycle
1 -
DEHP free : no risk of loss of plasticizing agents
-
LATEX free : no risk of allergic reaction to latex
Manufacturing Materials Catheter material (including connectors): Polyolefin-based elastomer (POBE)
Coating material: polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP)
Sachet containing saline solution: aluminum foil
All materials used are tested to be non-toxic, medical-grade, and biocompatible. Free from: DEHP, PVC, and latex.
Warnings The LoFric Origo catheter is intended for single use. Once used, the unique surface coating deteriorates and the catheter is no longer sterile. Risks associated with reuse may include increased adhesion, pain, bleeding, urinary tract infections, and long-term stenosis and epididymitis.
Conservation Store at room temperature, in a dry place.
Format Box containing 30 catheters. Each catheter is inserted in a single blister made of Polyester with Aluminum Oxide (PET/Alox), linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE).
