L or F ric
Sense

Medical Device CE 0086, sterile class I.
Self-lubricating disposable hydrophilic urinary catheter with sterile saline solution (water, sodium chloride) integrated in the package, for intermittent catheterization.The catheter is hydrated in a sterile environment. The catheter surface is made with Urotonic Surface Technology: the combination of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) and saline solution (water and sodium chloride) makes the coating of the LoFric Sense catheter isotonic with urine, after activation. The packaging of each single product allows manipulation without direct contact with the catheter body:
- tear-off opening
- the same package can be used as a container, to dispose of the catheter in a hygienic and totally discreet way, after use.

All LoFric Sense catheters can be connected to standard urine collection bags.

Benefits
- Simple and intuitive opening
- Adhesive label to hang the package on any dry and clean surface
- Immediate activation: Urotonic Surface Technology reduces friction during catheterization, ensures comfort and reduces the risk of complications in the long term
- Presence of a specific handle that guarantees a good grip for better control and allows the "no-touch" technique
- Lateral atraumatic drainage holes for better comfort
- The packaging is such as to ensure maximum discretion
- The packaging allows you to dispose of it in the utmost discretion
- PVC FREE : POBE, a polyolefin-based elastomer, has a low environmental impact during its entire life cycle ¹
- DEHP free : no risk of loss of plasticizers
- LATEX free : no risk of allergic reaction to latex

Manufacturing Materials
Catheter material (including connectors): Polyolefin based elastomer (POBE)
Lining material: polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP)
Sachet containing the saline solution: aluminum foil
All the materials used are tested non-toxic, medical grade and biocompatible materials. Without: DEHP, PVC and latex.

Warnings
The LoFric Origo catheter is for single use only. Once used, the unique surface coating deteriorates and the catheter is no longer sterile. Risks associated with reuse can be: increased adherence, pain, bleeding, urinary tract infections and long-term strictures and epididymitis.

storage
Store at room temperature, in a dry place.

Format
Box containing 30 catheters. Each catheter is placed in a single blister made up of Polyester with Aluminum oxide (PET / Alox), linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE).
