Frequently asked questions
Does this catheter contain any natural rubber latex?
No, the LoFric catheter is not made with natural rubber latex. It is constructed from a biocompatible polyolefin-based elastomer (POBE), making it a suitable choice for users with latex sensitivities.
How do I activate the hydrophilic coating?
To activate the hydrophilic coating, you must expose the catheter to water. Please note that a water packet is not included with this product, so you will need to provide your own external water source to ensure the surface becomes lubricious for insertion.
Is this catheter designed for comfort during insertion?
Yes, it is designed for comfort through two main features:
- Hydrophilic Coating: Becomes extremely slippery when hydrated, significantly reducing friction.
- Smooth Eyelets: Features two smooth, staggered eyelets that are engineered to minimize trauma to delicate mucosal tissue.
Is this intended for multiple uses?
No, this is a sterile, single-use, disposable device. It is intended for one-time application to maintain hygiene and safety standards.
Does the tip design help reduce irritation?
The catheter features a straight tip combined with smooth, staggered eyelets. This configuration is specifically designed to facilitate effective drainage while protecting sensitive tissue and minimizing irritation during both insertion and withdrawal.
Does this catheter contain any natural rubber latex?
