Frequently asked questions
Is the catheter safe for those with latex allergies?
Yes, the LoFric Primo is not made with natural rubber latex, making it a safe and suitable choice for users with latex sensitivities.
Can I use this catheter without needing an external water supply?
Absolutely. This product comes with an integrated sterile water packet, allowing you to activate the coating and perform catheterization safely anywhere, even without access to clean running water.
How does the hydrophilic coating improve comfort?
The advanced hydrophilic coating utilizes a blend of poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) and sodium chloride. When activated by the sterile water, it creates a highly lubricious surface that significantly reduces friction, ensuring a much smoother and more comfortable insertion experience.

What does the green color coding signify?
The green color coding is a standardized medical identifier for a 14 Fr. size, which helps users and healthcare professionals quickly identify the correct catheter diameter at a glance.
Is the material quality suitable for professional use?
Yes, the device is constructed from high-quality, medical-grade PVC. It is a professional-grade product designed specifically for reliability and ease of use in intermittent catheterization.
Is this size specifically designed for adult males?
Yes, this catheter is specifically sized as a 14 Fr. with a 16-inch length, which is the standard configuration tailored for adult male anatomy.
Does the straight tip design offer better control?
The straight tip design is a common and preferred choice for many users, offering a straightforward, predictable path that is easy to navigate and highly effective for standard intermittent catheterization.
How do I activate the hydrophilic coating?
Activation is simple and convenient: 1. Locate the sterile water packet inside the packaging. 2. Apply pressure to break the packet. 3. Allow the water to coat the catheter surface. This process ensures the lubricant is perfectly applied and ready for immediate use.
