LorFr
First

Medical device CE 0086, class I sterile.
Urinary catheter, hydrophilic, disposable, self-lubricating with sterile water in the package, for intermittent catheterism. The hydration of the catheter occurs in a sterile environment. The surface of the catheter is made with Urotonic Surface Technology: the combination of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), salt (NaCl) and water present in the integrated sachet, makes the coating of the LoFric First isotonic catheter with urine, after activation. The packaging of each product allows a safe catheterism in every situation:
- Box with sterile water integrated into the package
- The packaging of each individual product allows for direct contact with the body of the catheter, thanks to the presence of a special sheath for the insertion and subsequent extraction of the catheter (guaina "NO-TOUCH").

Benefits
- Possibility of opening in 3 different ways to meet the different needs of users
- Possibility to hang the package to facilitate catheterism
- Activation: Urotonic Surface Technology reduces friction during catheterism, ensures comfort and reduces the risks of complications in the long term
- Presence of a sheath for insertion and subsequent extraction of the catheter that allows a firm grip and the no-touch technique
- Atraumatic drainage side holes for better comfort
- PVC free: the POBE, polyolefin elastomer, has a low environmental impact during the entire life cycle¹
- DEHP free: no risk of loss of plasticizers
- LATEX free: no risk of allergic reaction to latex
