LoFric Elle Pro Make it work from day one
Discover how LoFric® Elle™ Pro can make ISC work for you
In a user survey (n=196), 95% of participants reported feeling confident in their ability to use LoFric Elle (1).
In a user survey (n=196), 90% of participants reported that the handle made it easy for them to reach the urethra (1).
In a user survey (n=196), 92% of participants reported that the handle made catheterising feel more hygienic (1).
LoFric Elle has a non-medical design and fits discreetly in a pocket or handbag. It’s easy to carry and dispose of.
In a user survey (n=196), the majority of women rated likelihood to recommend LoFric Elle between 8-10 (1).
The multiple Pro eyelets are designed to allow for complete bladder emptying of urine and particles. Complete bladder emptying is well known to reduce the risk of UTIs (2, 3).
LoFric Elle Pro builds on the proven design of LoFric Elle, introducing twelve smooth Pro eyelets developed to further simplify catheterisation, support complete bladder emptying, and provide greater reassurance during use.
In a user survey (n=196), participants reported that LoFric Elle supported learning and performing intermittent catheterisation from the start and helped build confidence during use (1).
In a user survey (n=175), 52% of women report difficulties locating the urethra, and find it hard to position themselves correctly (4).
LoFric Elle Pro was designed to support learning and performing intermittent catheterisation. In user feedback, participants reported that the L-shaped handle supported visibility when using a mirror and made it easier for them to reach and identify the urethra in a natural sitting position (1, 5).
LoFric Elle Pro features the same Urotonic™ Surface Technology found across all LoFric products. Its smooth, lubricated surface helps ensure safe and gentle insertion and withdrawal, making it suitable for long-term use (6, 7, 8, 9).
The catheter’s tube is designed with an appropriate length to support complete bladder emptying.
Even when developing innovative functional designs, we never compromise on what matters most: the health and well-being of our users.
Not all catheters are the same
During catheterisation, the catheter coating is exposed to urine and the urinary tract, where osmolality can vary substantially (11, 12, 13, 14). If the surrounding environment has a higher osmolality than the catheter coating, water may be drawn away from the surface, potentially reducing lubrication (15, 16).
The Urotonic™ Surface Technology has an osmolality higher than or similar to the lower urinary tract, which helps maintain coating hydration, and is associated with reduced friction (17) and less sticking during catheter insertion (18) and withdrawal (16, 18, 19, 20).
As the world’s first eco-labelled catheter for women, it proudly carries the Nordic Swan Ecolabel, confirming that it meets strict environmental criteria.
- Produced with 100% bio-based solvent.
- Produced using 100% renewable energy.
- The handle is 100% recyclable.
- Manufactured with 0% PVC for a smaller carbon footprint.
A switch from a PVC or Polyurethane catheter to a LoFric POBE based catheter, like LoFric Elle, could decrease the carbon footprint by as much as 20 kg CO2 every year (21).
