User, Luja female
We understand how important it is for you as a catheter user to avoid urinary tract infections (UTIs). Any urine left behind in the bladder after catheterisation can contain bacteria that may multiply and could potentially cause a UTI1,2.
That’s why Luja female has unique Micro-hole Zone Technology that enables complete bladder emptying in one free flow3 for less risk of UTIs1.
Unlike conventional catheters that usually only have two eyelets, Luja female has a zone of 50+ micro-holes4. Luja female with Micro-hole Zone Technology enables you to empty your bladder completely in one free flow3 – reducing your risk of contracting a UTI1. Furthermore, in a recent study 86% of users reported feeling confident that Luja female empties their bladder completely5.
With Luja female, your emptying technique is made simpler3,6, as it enables you to empty your bladder without having to adjust the catheter3. In fact, 95% of users found it easy to use Luja female7.
In a recent study, users indicated they experienced no discomfort8 during catheterisation with Luja female. Furthermore, significantly fewer users feel pinching and stinging with Luja female compared to conventional eyelet catheters9.
