Since the LoFric catheter was launched in 1983, we have continued working closely with users and healthcare professionals to help us improve the LoFric catheter products and refinements are constantly being made.
The documentation for intermittent catheterization using the LoFric catheter is currently more extensive and more long-term than for any other catheter on the market today.
Conducting long-term studies is vital, as injuries associated with CIC do not tend to make themselves apparent until after several years. All studies of the LoFric catheters have produced very positive results, especially when used for a long period of time (approx. ten years). Comparative studies using ordinary catheters with gel tell a very different story. In patients using these catheters, urethral strictures and inflammations are common.
