LoFric ®: The Clinically Proven Choice
For over 30 years, Wellspect LoFric ® has been the choice of patients seeking a discreet, comfortable, and safe catheter. The world’s only catheter with Urotonic ™ Surface Technology—a unique lubrication system—LoFric catheters help ensure the surface layer stays intact during insertion and removal. This reduces the level of urethral friction by 90–95% compared with conventional catheters and has been clinically proven to reduce the risk of urethral trauma, UTIs, and long-term complications.
LoFric's Urotonic ™ Surface Technology Makes All the Difference
Urotonic ™ Surface Technology (UST) sets LoFric apart from the competition. UST provides a catheter surface osmolality similar to urine due to salt/solute concentration in the coating that is in the same range as urine. This to prevent the catheter from drying out. This facilitates gentle catheterization by making the catheter smooth at insertion and withdrawal, minimizing the risks of urethral trauma, bleeding and strictures. *

LoFric Catheters Are Scientifically Proven to Show *:
0% trauma after 5–9 years with LoFric 1
64% lower expected risk of UTIs 2
10–20 times lower expected risk of strictures 3
48% lower expected risk of hematuria 4
