Luja™ is the only compact intermittent catheter (IC) with Micro-hole Zone Technology for both men and women designed to fully empty the bladder in one free flow, reducing the risk of UTIs. Unlike traditional catheters that can cause flow stops and leave residual urine, Luja’s innovative Micro-hole Zone Technology, with 50+ micro-holes for women and 80+ for men, enables complete bladder emptying without repositioning. Further, it simplifies use for male users providing faster bladder emptying and female users report no discomfort during catheterization with Luja.
Luja also stands out for its thoughtful design. The female version is discrete and calming, while the male version features a sleek, graphic look, ensuring ease of use and confidence in daily life.
Luja addresses major challenges for IC users: 90% adjust their catheter to empty their bladder fully, and UTIs are a significant concern for 55% of healthcare professionals and 45% of users. By solving these issues, Luja redefines bladder emptying, challenges traditional catheter designs, and Luja female is designed with the user and environment in mind, also promoting sustainability with a 28% reduction in plastic and 22% lower CO2 emissions vs SpeediCath® Compact Eve.
