ASTRA TECH AB : LoFric Sense hydrophilic urinary catheter

Urotonic™ Surface Technology

LoFric® – the first hydrophilic urinary catheter – was introduced more than 25 years ago.

Being hydrophilic means that the catheter's surface layer has a special coating that binds water and creates a very wet and slippery surface, in principle frictionless during insertion.

Today there are several hydrophilic catheters on the market, but there are important differences between LoFric and the others. The secret behind LoFric is the Urotonic™ Surface Technology (UST).

Essentially, Urotonic™ Surface Technology binds water to the catheter tube. This creates a wet and slippery surface that reduces friction against the urethra by 90-95% compared to a regular catheter with gel.
This allows the catheter to slide in and out of the urethra in the most comfortable way possible. And, just as importantly, there's less risk of long-term complications from the repeated friction of self-catheterising.

RADIO FREQUENCY ID in HOSPITALS

An ActiveWave RFID system can be used to track patients, doctors and expensive equipment in hospitals in real time. RFID tags can be attached to the ID bracelets of all patients, or just patients requiring special attention, so their location can be tracked continuously. ActiveWave RFID technology can also provide an electronic link for wirelessly communicating patient data. An instant assessment of critical equipment and personnel locations is also possible through RFID technology.
These applications can be combined with ActiveWave access control to allow only authorized personnel to access to critical areas of the hospital.

Benefits of using ActiveWave RFID Systems:

• Continuously track each patient's location
• Track the location of doctors and nurses in the hospital
• Track the location of expensive and critical instruments and equipment
• Restrict access to drugs, pediatrics, and other high-threat areas to authorized staff
• Monitor and track unauthorized persons who are loitering around high-threat areas
• Facilitate triage processes by restricting access to authorized staff and "approved" patients during medical emergencies, epidemics, terrorist threats, and other times when demands could threaten the hospital's ability to effectively deliver services
• Use the patient's RFID tag to access patient information for review and update through a hand-held computer

Neuropelveology, which literally means «the study of pelvic nerves», focuses on diseases and functional disturbances on nerves of the small pelvis.
What is Neuropelveology?
Neuropelveology is a specialized medical domain that focuses on neurological diseases and functional disturbances of the small pelvis. Its diagnostic and therapeutic spectrum is very large. It includes conditions such as endometriosis, tumours of the small pelvis and postoperative scars and adhesions that may affect the small pelvis nerves and cause pain. Neuropelveology also studies direct damage to pelvic nerves that occurs, for example, in multiple sclerosis and spina bifida, as well as traumatic spinal cord lesions and nerve wounds caused by extensive surgery. The diagnosis and targeted therapy of pelvic pain and functional disturbances of the small pelvis require specific medical knowledge in gynaecology, urology, neurology and neurosurgery.
Neuropelveology is typically concerned with the following issues:

* Anatomy (structure and ultrastructure) of the nerves of the small pelvis and preserving this anatomy in the event of radical surgery in order to maintain organ function as far as possible. Thus, in the case of endometriosis surgery, hysterectomy, prostatectomy or tumour resection, care must be taken to completely preserve the sexual, vesical and intestinal functions.
* Minimally invasive laparoscopy on the nerves of the small pelvis to treat nerve pain in the abdomen and pelvic cavity
* Diagnosis and treatment of pelvic nerve disorders that may cause functional disturbances and pain
* Diagnosis and treatment of different conditions of the small pelvis that are not necessarily neurological but nevertheless result in pelvic nerve pain or disorders.
