LoFric is just as slippery coming out as it is going in
LoFric has a surface layer that binds water. This gives a wet and slippery surface that reduces friction against the urethra by 90-95% compared to regular catheter with gel. The surface layer maintains the same wet surface during the entire bladder emptying. This allows the catheter to slide in and out of the urethra without feeling rough or chafing.
This ability to bind moisture is unique and protected by a patent, Urotonic™ Surface Technology.
World-unique method
LoFric is actually the only catheter in the world with Urotonic Surface Technology. This method has been developed to make bladder emptying easier and more gentle.
The secret behind our Urotonic Surface Technology is a chemical process that makes the surface ”isotonic” to urine. This means that the saline content on the catheter's surface is the same as in your urine. This saline content makes the water on the moist surface stay there during the entire catheterisation procedure. This makes LoFric just as slippery coming out as it is going in.
