LoFric Origo Why Choose LoFric Origo

The Choice You Can Always Trust

When the bladder isn’t working properly, it can have a significant impact on your overall health and daily life. Self-catheterisation mimics the body’s natural process of passing urine, and LoFric Origo can put men with bladder issues back in control.

The  procedure is simple and after some training most people can handle it independently without any help from a caregiver or family member.

Whether you are catheterising for the first time or have been doing it for years, your safety and comfort are always a priority. LoFric Origo is designed to address both your medical and lifestyle needs. At Wellspect, we believe everyone is entitled to lead life to the fullest

A Catheter for Every Need

LoFric Origo comes in a variety of sizes and with different styles of tips. Your healthcare provider will help you find the most suitable catheter for your specific needs.

Nelaton: A straight catheter with a rounded tip. Suitable for most users.
This catheter is available with both an insertion grip and a protective sleeve.

Tiemann: A straight catheter with a slightly curved tip. Particularly useful for men with
a narrow urethral passage or prostatic obstruction. This catheter is available with an insertion grip.

Flexible: A straight catheter with a flexible, ball-shaped tip. Perceived to be easy to insert and facilitates navigation through the natural curves of the urethra. This catheter is available with an insertion grip.

Hygienic and Easy to Handle

LoFric Origo offers different grip solutions to ensure optimal control and non-touch technique.

 

The protective sleeve* is a thin cover along the catheter tube that allows the user to touch and grip the whole catheter without contaminating the tube.
The protective sleeve is suitable for users who are mindful of hygiene and/or have limited hand function.

The insertion grip is easily moved up and down the catheter without having to touch the catheter tube during insertion.

 

*Available with Nelaton tip.

Not all Catheters are the Same

LoFric’s unique surface ensures the catheter tube doesn’t stick in the urethra. The benefit of LoFric’s surface is clear when you compare it to other hydrophilic surfaces. Most catheters are smooth at insertion, but not all manage to stay smooth at withdrawal. Since a LoFric catheter stays smooth, it allows for gentle catheterisation also during withdrawal, resulting in reduced risk for urethral trauma, pain and urinary tract infections.

I’ve tried a few different catheters but LoFric Origo works best for me. I feel it’s easy to use. It’s compact and discreet — I can fold it up and put it in a bag under my chair. I don’t need to worry about finding water to activate it as it’s already in the package. I just squeeze it, break the seal and use it, and nobody needs to know. My bladder management has greatly improved. I feel much better.
