Frequently asked questions
Does this catheter require external water for activation?
No, the LoFric Origo is designed for maximum convenience. It comes with an integrated water packet, which activates the hydrophilic coating instantly, making it ready to use anywhere without needing extra supplies.
Is this product suitable for pediatric use?
Yes, this specific model is designed for pediatric intermittent catheterization, ensuring the size and handling are appropriate for younger users.
Does the coating help reduce urethral trauma?
Absolutely. The Polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) hydrophilic coating becomes exceptionally slippery once activated. This significantly minimizes friction against the urethral lining, which helps protect delicate tissue and enhances comfort during every use.
Can I use this catheter more than once?
No, this is a sterile, single-use disposable device. It is intended for one-time use only to ensure maximum hygiene and prevent potential infections.
Is the catheter handle easy to grip?
Yes, the LoFric Origo features a distinctive ergonomic blue handle. Its curved silhouette is specifically engineered to provide a better grip and more control, which is especially helpful for users who may have limited dexterity.
Is this catheter suitable for both boys and girls?
Yes, this model is designed for unisex pediatric applications, providing a versatile solution that can be used regardless of gender.
Why is the POBE material chosen for this catheter?
The Polyolefin-based Elastomer (POBE) is used because it provides the ideal balance of flexibility and firmness. When combined with the PVP hydrophilic coating, it ensures the catheter remains easy to handle while staying gentle during insertion and removal.
What is the purpose of the two eyelets?
The catheter features two smooth, staggered eyelets near the Nelaton tip. These are specifically designed to promote efficient and consistent drainage while ensuring the edges remain smooth to prevent irritation during insertion.
What does the Nelaton tip design offer?
The Nelaton tip is the standard rounded tip style, widely recognized for being gentle and easy to guide during the insertion process, making it a reliable choice for routine intermittent catheterization.
Is the catheter length standard for a pediatric size?
This catheter is 12 inches in length and 12 Fr. in diameter, which is a standard configuration intended to provide the necessary reach and flow for pediatric patients.
