LoFric catheters have a unique surface layer that binds with water. This creates a slippery surface that helps the catheter glide, virtually frictionless, along the urethra and remains slippery during the entire bladder emptying. This also allows the catheter to slide in and out of the urethra without feeling rough or chafing. LoFric's unique surface layer has been shown to reduce urethral friction by 90-95%, compared to regular catheter with gel.
World-unique method
LoFric is actually the only catheter in the world with Urotonic Surface Technology. This method has been developed to make bladder emptying easier and more comfortable.
The secret behind our Urotonic Surface Technology is a chemical process that makes the surface ”isotonic” to urine. This means that the saline content on the catheter's surface is the same as in your urine. This saline content makes the water on the moist surface stay there during the entire catheterization procedure. This makes LoFric just as slippery coming out as it is going in.
