Bekkenbunnsdysfunksjon (PFD) refererer til en bred konstellasjon av symptomer og anatomiske endringer relatert til unormal funksjon av strukturer i bekkenbunnskomplekset, som inkluderer det støttende fibrøse vevet kalt fascia, blod- og nerveforsyningen og spesielt bekkenbunnsmuskulaturen.

Prolaps betyr "å falle ut av sted". Pelvic organ prolaps (POP) oppstår når vaginale vegger, livmor, eller begge mister sin normale støtte og faller ut av sted. Andre nærliggende bekkenorganer, som blæren eller tarmen, kan være involvert og også "slippe" fra sin normale posisjon i kroppen. Cystocele er den vanligste typen POP.

Bowel problems in children are common, up to 29% of children can be affected by functional constipation and functional fecal incontinence, where the symptom origin is not known.

A surprisingly high number of patients reuses catheters intended for single-use every day putting them at risk for unnecessary complications. Single-use hydrophilic catheters for intermittent catheterization lower the risk for short- and long-term complications and are a convenient and preferred choice for many patients.

Introduction of a no-touch catheter/technique for intermittent catheterization seems to be well accepted both by caregivers and patients and it is not necessarily associated with higher costs. On the contrary, it could potentially reduce costs, saving time and errors in the healthcare system and reduce infection complications in general. The clinical evidence level is low for using no-touch technique/catheter to reduce UTIs but current available studies suggest benefits of it.

Catheter associated urinary tract infections (CAUTI) are common in the hospital setting with consequential morbidity and mortality. The risk of bacterial adhesion and invasion of the urinary tract increases with use of an indwelling catheterization and may be reduced by adopting intermittent catheterization using hydrophilic single-use catheters.

Bladder management with intermittent catheterization is associated with complications. The most severe and common one is UTI.

Urinveiene er ansvarlig for eliminering av avfall og overflødig væske i kroppen, ved å produsere og skille ut urin.

For those who cannot empty their bladder the normal way, intermittent catheterization is the therapy of choice to maintain urethral health. Complications are common but when hydrophilic single-use catheters entered the market, the risks of UTI dropped significantly. Low friction seemed to be key to maintain urethral health. Today, there is only one hydrophilic catheter that is scientifically proven to reduce complications also after long-term use.

With more than 30 years on the market, LoFric has been used and documented en several ways. In addition to efficiently emptying the bladder, LoFric's versatile use includes treatment and prevention of recurrent strictures, administration of chemotherapy by bladder instillation, and resolution of rare complications.

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

Urine often has a high concentration of particles and low content of water. This is referred to as high osmolality. Urine osmolality has a direct effect on catheter lubrication and plays an important role for people who use hydrophilic catheters. Catheters with a surface osmolality in balance with urine is key to reducing withdrawal friction.

A lubricated catheter is recommended to reduce damage to the urethra and lower the risk of hematuria which is a common complication. A cross-over study comparing different hydrophilic catheters showed an even lower frequency of hematuria in patients who chose LoFric.
