LoFric
       Sense

Medical Device CE 0086, class I sterile.
Single-use, self-lubricating hydrophilic urinary catheter with sterile saline solution (water, sodium chloride) integrated into the packaging, for intermittent catheterization. Catheter hydration occurs in a sterile environment. The catheter's surface is made with Urotonic Surface Technology: the combination of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) and saline solution (water and sodium chloride) makes the LoFric Sense catheter coating isotonic with urine after activation. The packaging of each individual product allows for handling without direct contact with the catheter body:
- tear-open packaging
- the same packaging can be used as a container to hygienically and discreetly dispose of the catheter after use.

Product Code	Tip	Length	Size
4160830	LoFric Sense	15 cm	CH08
4161030	LoFric Sense	15 cm	CH10
4161230	LoFric Sense	15 cm	CH12
4161430	LoFric Sense	15 cm	CH14

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

Advantages
- 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 long-term complications
- Presence of a specific grip that ensures good handling for better control and allows for the "no-touch" technique
- Atraumatic lateral drainage holes for improved comfort
- The packaging is designed to ensure maximum discretion
- The packaging allows for disposal with maximum discretion
- PVC FREE: POBE, a polyolefin-based elastomer, has a low environmental impact throughout its life cycle¹
- DEHP free: no risk of plasticizer leakage
- LATEX free: no risk of allergic reaction to latex

Manufacturing Materials
Catheter material (including connectors): polyolefin-based elastomer (POBE)
Coating material: polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP)
Pouch containing saline solution: aluminum foil
All materials used are tested, non-toxic, medical-grade, and biocompatible. Free from: DEHP, PVC, and latex.

Warnings
The LoFric Origo catheter is for single use. Once used, the unique surface coating deteriorates, and the catheter is no longer sterile. Risks associated with reuse may include: 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 of Polyester with Aluminum oxide (PET/Alox), linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE).
