▾

Does the LoFricPrimo require additional lubrication?
▾
No, the LoFricPrimo is pre-lubricated with a water-activated hydrophilic coating. Simply open the package and use—no extra gel or preparation is needed, making it convenient and clean.
How do I use the AH4100840 LoFricPrimo catheter?
▾
Wash your hands, open the package, and remove the catheter. Insert gently into the urethra until urine flows, then withdraw slowly. Dispose of after one use. Always follow your healthcare provider's instructions.
Is the 16-inch length suitable for men?
▾

Can I reuse the LoFricPrimo catheter?
