Frequently asked questions
Does this catheter require extra lubricant?
No, it does not. It features a advanced hydrophilic coating (Polyvinyl pyrrolidone) that is activated by the included sterile salt solution, creating a naturally smooth, low-friction surface for comfortable insertion.
Is everything needed for a sterile procedure included?
Yes, this is an all-in-one closed system. Each kit comes complete with the catheter unit, a 1000 mL collection bag, and the necessary sterile salt solution packet to activate the coating.
Is this specifically designed for pediatric patients?
Yes, it is precision-engineered for pediatric use. It features a 10 Fr. diameter and an 8-inch length to meet the specific requirements of smaller patients, ensuring a proper and comfortable fit.
Can this be used for long-term indwelling?
No, this is strictly an intermittent closed system catheter. It is designed to be used only for periodic bladder emptying and does not feature a balloon, as it is not intended for indwelling or long-term use.
Are the materials used in the coating safe?
Yes. The hydrophilic surface uses Polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP), a widely recognized and trusted material in medical devices designed to significantly reduce friction against sensitive mucosal tissue during insertion and withdrawal.
What is the catheter made of?
The catheter is constructed from Polyolefin-based Elastomer (POBE). This material is chosen for its balance of flexibility and strength, making it ideal for safe, intermittent catheterization.
Is the system fully self-contained?
Yes, the LoFric Hydro-Kit is a fully self-contained system. It allows for sterile catheterization with the integrated 1000 mL collection bag, which helps maintain hygiene throughout the entire process.
How long is the catheter tube?
This pediatric model features an 8-inch tube length, specifically sized to provide ease of handling and comfort for pediatric applications.
Does the tip have any special features?
This model utilizes a straight tip design. This standard configuration is often preferred for its straightforward ease of use during pediatric intermittent catheterization.
How should I store this kit?
Since this is a factory-new, sterile product, it should be kept in its original packaging in a clean, dry environment at room temperature to ensure the integrity of the sterile components until the moment of use.
