A next generation catheter
The way you empty your bladder is about to change.
Luja™ Coudé with Micro-hole Zone Technology is the first and only male intermittent catheter designed to empty your bladder completely in one uninterrupted urine flow.*
Micro holes. Macro difference.
*Luja has close to no flow stops and complete bladder emptying is defined as <10 mL (CP353, NCT05485922)
Luja addresses more catheter-related UTI risk factors1 than ever
Almost half of people using intermittent catheters worries whether they have emptied their bladder completely.2
If urine is left in the bladder after catheterization, bacteria in the urine and bladder may multiply and could eventually cause a urinary tract infection (UTI).1,2
Luja ensures† complete bladder emptying, setting a new standard for intermittent catheters.

Setting a new standard for bladder emptying
Luja features a new and unique technology with 80+ micro-holes designed to reduce the risk of developing UTIs1 by completely emptying your bladder during catheterization – every time.
One free flow
The urine flow only stops when your bladder is completely emptied – you don't need to reposition your catheter to know that when you are done, you are done.
No repositioning
No need to reposition the catheter while emptying for a simpler emptying technique.
Less risk of UTIs**
Designed to ensure your bladder is emptied as much as possible to reduce your risk of UTIs.

“Without question, Luja empties my bladder much better than any other catheter that I have tried.”
