Frequently Asked Questions
What is the advantage of a hydrophilic catheter?

No, the LoFricPrimo does not need extra lubrication. It contains its own sterile water to activate the hydrophilic coating. Simply activate the package, let the coating hydrate, and the catheter is ready for immediate, smooth use without added gels or fluids.
How does the coude tip help during catheterization?
▾
The coude tip is slightly curved, making it easier to navigate past obstructions like an enlarged prostate or urethral stricture. It’s especially beneficial for male users with difficult anatomical pathways, improving insertion success and reducing trauma.
