The LoFric catheter is a hydrophilic, nonlatex plastic catheter for use in adults and children. Immersing the catheter in water produces a slippery, protective coating on the catheter. This protective coating prevents trauma to the mucosal surface. Because of its slippery surface even patients who have difficulty using a conventional catheter are usually able to use a LoFric catheter.
