Frequently asked questions
How do I activate the hydrophilic coating?
Activation is quick and simple. The catheter includes a self-contained sterile water packet. Just fold and squeeze the packet within the packaging to release the water, which instantly activates the hydrophilic coating for a smooth insertion.
Is the Coude tip better for my anatomy?
The Coude tip is specifically designed with a slight curve to help navigate the male urethra. It is often recommended by healthcare professionals for users who experience anatomical difficulties or resistance with standard straight-tip catheters.
Why is the Urotonic coating beneficial?
The Urotonic Surface Technology ensures that the catheter remains slippery and effective throughout the entire procedure. By creating a low-friction surface, it helps minimize discomfort and protects the delicate lining of the urethra during both insertion and withdrawal.
Is this catheter suitable for travel?
Yes, the LoFric Primo is excellent for travel. Because the sterile water is integrated into the packaging, you do not need to carry separate lubrication or water sources, making it a highly convenient, ready-to-use solution for intermittent catheterization on the go.
Can I reuse this catheter after cleaning it?
No, this product is strictly for single-use only. It is designed to be disposable to maintain the necessary sterility and hygiene standards for catheterization.
Is the material safe for sensitive users?
The catheter is made of high-quality hydrophilic coated PVC. The specialized coating is designed to stay lubricated, significantly reducing friction compared to non-coated options, which helps prevent trauma to the urethral lining.
Does this catheter have staggered eyelets?
Yes, this model features two smooth, staggered eyelets. This design is intended to facilitate efficient and reliable urine drainage during use.
Is the 14 Fr. size standard for adults?
The 14 French (Fr.) size is a common sizing standard for adult male catheters. However, since sizing is a personal medical requirement, we recommend verifying this size with your healthcare provider to ensure it is correct for your specific anatomy.
Are these catheters color-coded?
Yes, these catheters are color-coded green for easy identification of the 14 Fr. size, allowing you to quickly select the correct size from your supplies.
How long is this catheter?
This catheter is 16 inches long, which is the standard length designed for the male urethra.
