The importance of salt

What makes LoFric unique from other hydrophilic catheters is that, thanks to the added salt, its surface is ideally adapted to the environment in the urethra.

This gives LoFric its unrivalled capacity to retain water throughout catheterisation.

Once the PVP surface has attracted water, the salt binds the water and prevents it from disappearing during catheterisation.

The outer layer makes LoFric slide easily - both in and out - reducing friction by up to 95%.

Thanks to this unique outer layer, catheterisation with LoFric is easy to perform, safe and proven kind to your body, even after long term use.
