The LoFric Catheter: Overview of Clinical Studies

No urethral complications were found to have occurred in any of the 30 patients. No surgeries were required, and no incidents of false passages, meatitis or meatal stenosis were detected. Two patients experienced epidydimitis. In four patients who had signs of strictures at the outset of the study from previous use of an indwelling catheter, these signs subsided once CIC using LoFric was initiated. In addition, 12 patients (40%) maintained sterile urine during the entire follow-up period. CIC for more than five years. This retrospective study was conducted to investigate whether use of the LoFric catheter helped reduce the incidence of catheterization-related urethral complications, particularly in the long-term.
