The best part of LoFric is withdrawing it
The surface layer of LoFric catheters has a hydrophilic coating that binds water. The ingredients are polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) and NaCl (common salt). The result is a very wet and slippery surface that has a 90-95% lower friction than traditional catheters with gel. The hydrophilic surface means that the catheter has low friction when inserted. That the hydrophilic surface is also equipped with Urotonic Surface Technology ensures that the friction is low when it is withdrawn.
The World's only catheter with Urotonic Surface Technology
Urotonic Surface Technology is a patented surface layer technology that makes catheterisation more comfortable for the user. The secret behind Urotonic Surface Technology is a chemical process that makes the surface layer isotonic to urine. Somewhat simplified this means that the salt content of the catheter’s surface is the same as in the urine. The result is that the water in the hydrophilic layer does not disappear during catheterisation, which is otherwise the case as the salt content in the surroundings is higher.
