The New LoFric® Primo™. No Compromises. - Astra Tech

Designed to be simple to use.Whenever and wherever.The majority of people that use a catheter feel that the sense of dependence and lack offreedom are the worst aspects. Being worried about not finding a place where you canwash your hands or get hold of water to soak the catheter can mean that the user prefersto stay at home rather than go into town or on an outing.These are no longer problems when you use LoFric Primo. We have built both waterand hygiene into the packaging. Not having to touch the catheter with your fingersmeans that the need for hygiene in the surrounding environment is not as high. And forthe users, this knowledge can make a miraculous difference to their sense of freedom.More hygienic. Better grip.When using a catheter, hygiene is more important than many people think. Not touchingthe catheter surface is a great advantage. However, it is difficult to insert a catheterwithout touching it.With the new LoFric Primo, hygiene is improved in two ways. First, the package isvery easy to open and requires very little strength. You only need to ”peel” apart thepackaging to open it – without touching the actual catheter. Second, the packaging hasa built-in insertion guide, which provides you with a firm grip during insertion. Besidesbeing more convenient and simple to handle, it also significantly decreases the risk ofcontamination.Fold the catheter together and put it in your pocket.With LoFric Primo the water is kept separate. The advantage of this design is that thecatheter packaging remains soft, pliable and foldable. It is so flexible that it fits in yourpocket or a small bag.For the user this is tremendously important. The whole process of handling and usingcatheters can be more discreet. To put it simply – smaller and more easily manageablecatheters make a great improvement in their quality of life.More than ten ways to open it.Why did we make a catheter that can be opened in several different ways? Wouldn’t itbe easier with just one? When we developed LoFric Primo, we paid special attention tothe opening procedure. The problem is that different people have very different needs andcan be in different circumstances when they open a catheter. Some have limited mobilityin their left hand, others in the right, or both. Some are in wheelchairs, while others haveno mobility limitations at all. By providing LoFric Primo with several alternatives foropening, there is always at least one way that suits each person.5
