Medical Device CE 0086, class I sterile.
Hydrophilic, disposable, self-lubricating urinary catheter with sterile water 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), salt (NaCl), and the water in the integrated sachet makes the LoFric Primo catheter coating is isotonic with urine after activation. Each product's individual packaging allows for safe catheterization in any situation:
- Sachet with sterile water integrated in the package
- The packaging of each individual product allows handling without direct contact with the body of the catheter, thanks to the presence of a special sheath for insertion and subsequent extraction of the catheter ("NO-TOUCH" sheath).

All LoFric Primo catheters can be connected to standard urine collection bags.
Advantages - Possibility of opening in 3 different ways to meet the different needs of users
- Possibility of hanging the package to facilitate catheterization
- Activation: Urotonic Surface Technology reduces friction during catheterization, ensures comfort and reduces the risk of long-term complications
- Presence of a sheath for insertion and subsequent extraction of the catheter which allows for a firm grip and the no-touch technique
- Atraumatic lateral drainage holes for improved comfort
- 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 elastomer (POBE).
Coating material: polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) and salt (NaCl).
Material included in the package: sachet containing sterile water in polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyethylene (PE), aluminum laminate.
All materials used are tested to be non-toxic, medical-grade, and biocompatible. Free from PVC, DEHP, and latex.
Warnings The LoFric Primo 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, in the long term, strictures and epididymitis.
Format Box containing 30 catheters. Each catheter is packaged in a single polyethylene (PE) blister pack.
