Salt
Sodium Chloride (NaCl). This is one component of the outer layer of the LoFric® catheter. The salt increases the osmolality of the LoFric catheter and prevents the water from being removed from the catheter's surface after insertion. The patented addition of salt to the LoFric® catheter coating is unique. It ensures balanced osmolality and also optimizes both water binding and water retaining properties. LoFric® is the only hydrophilic catheter which uses salt in this way to increase osmolality and ensure that water is retained on the surface of the catheter throughout the catheterization process - from insertion to withdrawal.
