TheorFRic
First

EC 0086 medical device, sterile class.
Urinary catheter, hydrophilic, disposable, self-lubricating with sterile water integrated in the packaging, for intermittent catheterization. The hydration of the catheter takes place in a sterile environment. The surface of the catheter is made with Urotonic Surface Technology: the combination of the polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), salt (NACL) and the water present in the integrated sachet, makes the catheter coating LOFRIC FIRST Isotonic with urine, after activation. The packaging of each individual product allows a safe catheterization in every situation:
- sachet with sterile water integrated into the package
- The packaging of each individual product allows handling without direct contact with the catheter body, thanks to the presence of a special sheath for inserting and subsequent extraction of the catheter ("no-touch" sheath).

All the first Lofric catheters can be connected to the standard pockets for the collection of urine.

Benefits
- possibility of opening in 3 different ways to meet the different needs of users
- Possibility to hang the package to facilitate catheterization
- Activation: Urotonic Surface Technology reduces friction during catheterization, ensures comfort and reduces the risks of complications in the long run
- Presence of a sheath for inserting and subsequent extraction of the catheter that allows a weld socket and the non-touch technique
- Atraumatic drainage side holes for better comfort
- PVC Free: POBE, polyolefin-based elastomer, has a low environmental impact during the entire life cycle¹
- Free DEHP: no risk of loss of plasticizing agents
- LATEX FREE: no risk of allergic latex reaction

Manufacturing materials
Catheter material (including connectors): polyolefin-based elastomer (POBE).
Coating material: polyvinylpirrolidone (PVP) and salt (NACL).
Material integrated in the package: sachet containing sterile water in polyethylene laminate .Theal (PET), polyethylene (PE), aluminum.
All materials used are non-toxic tested materials, medical and biocompatible grade. Without PVC, DEHP and latex.

Warnings
The first Lofric catheter is disposable. Once the exclusive surface coating deteriorates and the catheter is no longer sterile. The risks associated with reuse can be: greater grip, pain, bleeding, urinary and long-term stenosis and epididimitic streets infections.

Format
Box containing 30 catheters. Each catheter is packaged in a single blister consisting of polyethylene (PE).
