Frequently asked questions
Does this catheter offer advanced friction reduction?
Yes, the LoFric Primo features Urotonic Surface Technology. This hydrophilic coating (PVP and NaCl) creates a slippery, low-friction layer upon activation, which is specifically designed to minimize trauma to the urethra during both insertion and withdrawal.
Can I use this without a separate water source?
Absolutely. One of the primary advantages of the LoFric Primo is its self-contained sterility. It includes an integrated sterile water packet that allows you to activate the hydrophilic coating anywhere, making it ideal for travel or use in public restrooms.
Is this product safe for latex-sensitive individuals?
Yes, the LoFric Primo is not made with natural rubber latex. It is engineered to be a safe and reliable option for users with sensitivities or allergies to latex.
How does the design improve drainage efficiency?
The catheter features two smooth, staggered eyelets near the tip. These are precision-engineered to ensure efficient and reliable urine drainage while preventing tissue suction during the process.
Is the catheter rigid or flexible for insertion?
This model features a straight tip design. It is manufactured from medical-grade PVC, providing the necessary firmness for accurate insertion while maintaining enough flexibility for comfort.
Is this specifically designed for male anatomy?
Yes, the LoFric Primo 16 Fr. catheter is designed specifically for male intermittent catheterization, ensuring the appropriate length and stiffness for adult use.
How do I activate the hydrophilic coating?
Activation is simple and quick:
- Locate the integrated sterile water packet within the packaging.
- Apply pressure to the packet to release the water into the catheter compartment.
- Once the surface is fully hydrated, the catheter is ready for immediate, low-friction use.
Is the catheter suitable for high-frequency travel?
It is highly recommended for active individuals. The all-in-one, compact packaging makes it a discreet and portable solution for anyone who needs to perform intermittent catheterization while away from home.
How do I identify the size of this catheter?
This catheter is a 16 French (Fr.) size, which is standardized by the orange color-coded indicators used in medical catheter labeling.
Is this a single-use sterile device?
Yes, the LoFric Primo is a sterile, disposable product. Using a new catheter for every session is essential for maintaining hygiene and reducing the risk of complications.
