Frequently asked questions
Does the hydrophilic coating reduce discomfort?
Yes, the hydrophilic coating is specifically engineered to minimize friction against the urethra. When exposed to water, the surface becomes exceptionally slippery, which promotes a much smoother, safer, and more comfortable catheterization experience compared to non-coated options.
Is the material durable yet flexible?
Absolutely. The catheter is constructed from Polyolefin-based Elastomer (POBE). This material is widely recognized in medical applications for striking the perfect balance between:
- Flexibility: Allowing for easy, comfortable handling.
- Rigidity: Providing the necessary structural control required for precise insertion.
How efficient is the fluid drainage?
The device is designed for optimal flow. It features two smooth, staggered eyelets at the distal tip. This configuration is specifically engineered to ensure efficient drainage and prevent the catheter from suctioning against the urethral wall during use.
Is this model suitable for male anatomy?
Yes, this catheter is purpose-built for adult males. It features a 16-inch length, which is the standard length required to reach the bladder comfortably and effectively in male patients.
How do I activate the hydrophilic coating?
The coating is activated by exposing the catheter surface to water. Since a water packet is not included with this specific configuration, you should use a clean, independent water source to wet the surface thoroughly before insertion to ensure the lubricant layer is fully active.
Can I reuse these catheters?
No, these are strictly for single-use only. Each catheter is provided in a sterile condition to ensure patient safety and minimize the risk of infection. Please dispose of the catheter properly after one-time use.
Is there a way to identify the size quickly?
Yes, the product follows universal medical color-coding standards. This 20 French (Fr.) model features a yellow funnel connector, allowing you to identify the gauge size at a glance during your routine care.
How many catheters are provided per package?
Each box contains 30 individual sterile catheters, providing a reliable supply for your intermittent catheterization routine.
What is the benefit of the straight tip design?
The straight tip is the classic, most widely used design for intermittent catheterization. It is atraumatic and rounded, specifically intended to navigate the male urethra with ease and minimal irritation.
Is this a medical-grade product?
Yes, the LoFric catheter is a factory-new, clinical-grade medical device manufactured by Wellspect Healthcare. It meets strict standards for safety, sterility, and performance in both home and clinical environments.
