  1. LoFric - a well-documented catheter

    key:global.content-type: Artikel

    With more than 30 years on the market, LoFric has been used and documented in several ways.

  2. LoFric - as little environmental impact as possible

    key:global.content-type: Artikel

    At Wellspect HealthCare we take our environmental responsibility seriously. We continuously work to minimize the environmental impact related to our products. We ensure that proper materials are used and all applicable production requirements are followed. For the LoFric catheter, this means that we use a core catheter material with proven low environmental impact as compared to other common catheter materials1 without compromising quality and patient perception.2 3 In fact, the core material of LoFric has been proven to optimize catheter management and reduce discomfort.2

  3. Hydrophilic catheters and reduced risk of uti

    key:global.content-type: Artikel

    Extensive studies support scientific literature claiming that use of hydrophilic catheters reduce urethral trauma and urinary tract infections. This in turn can minimize the need for antibiotics. Because of these benefits, we now know that hydrophilic catheters are one of the most cost-effective ways to prevent long term urological complications in general and UTI in particular.

  4. Long-term safety of intermittent catheterization

    key:global.content-type: Artikel

    Single-use hydrophilic catheters were developed in the early eighties to address long-term complications of intermittent catheterization as seen when reusing plastic catheters with add-on lubrication. As reported by Wyndaele and Maes1 and Perrouin-Verbe et al.2 the majority of complications related to intermittent catheterization occur after long-term use as a result of damage to the urethral wall from repeated catheterizations. In contrast, long-term use of LoFric hydrophilic catheters is reported to prevent urethral trauma and complications.3 4

  5. Scientific review of intermittent vs indwelling catheterization

    key:global.content-type: Artikel

    Available clinical evidence supports the strategy to always consider intermittent catheterization as the first therapeutic choice, before considering the use of an indwelling catheter. Intermittent catheterization is the first therapeutic choice and is a safer bladder management method than both urethral and suprapubic indwelling catheters. Intermittent catheterization is central to reduce morbidity related to renal failure and neurogenic bladder dysfunction.

  6. Urinvejsinfektioner (UVI)

    key:global.content-type: Artikel

    Urinvejsinfektioner (UVI) opstår, når bakterier får mulighed for at formere sig og sætte sig fast i blærens slimhinde – det medicinske udtryk er cystitis. Når en urinvejsinfektion påvirker de øvre urinveje, nyrerne og/eller nyrebækkenet, kaldes den pyelonefritis. Infektionen kaldes normalt pyelonefritis.

  7. Urinvejene – kvindens anatomi og fysiologi

    key:global.content-type: Artikel

    Urinvejene er ansvarlige for at fjerne affaldsstoffer og overskydende væske i kroppen ved at producere og udskille urin.

  8. Urinvejene - mænds anatomi og fysiologi

    key:global.content-type: Artikel

    Urinvejene er ansvarlige for at fjerne affald og ekstra væske i kroppen ved at producere og udskille urin.

  9. Ren Intermitterende Kateterisering (RIK)

    key:global.content-type: Webinar

    Birgitta Magnusson, Uroterapeut på Centralsygehuset i Karlstad forelæser her om Ren Intermitterende Kateterisering (RIK). Hvad er vigtigt at vide, når du skal undervise i RIK?
