Who Uses This Product? Men who empty their bladders with intermittent catheters, especially those prone to urinary tract infections (UTIs) use the Luja Coude Catheter.
Why They Love It: Instead of two conventional eyelets, the Luja catheter features more than 80 micro-holes to ensure complete bladder emptying and lower the risk of UTIs. The micro-hole design also allows users to benefit from a simpler emptying technique. When the urine flow stops, users know the bladder is completely emptiedthere's no need to reposition.
Luja Coude Intermittent Catheter Overview
The Coloplast Luja Coude Catheter sets a new standard for intermittent catheters, with a design that simplifies bladder emptying and lessens UTI risk. The Luja is the first and only intermittent catheter that uses Micro-hole Zone Technology80+ micro-holes that enable complete urine emptying in one free flow. By minimizing residual urine and bladder microtrauma, this next-generation catheter lowers the risk of UTIs.
The Luja's Triple Action Coating creates a smooth surface that protects the urethra and makes insertion more comfortable. A soft grip provides users with better control while they catheterize, and the dry sleeve supports a sanitary, no-touch routine. The discreet, nonmedical packaging is reclosable for hygienic handling and disposal.

Product Details
Less Risk of UTIs
Standard intermittent catheters, which have two eyelets near the tip for drainage, leave users at greater risk of UTIs. This is typically due to residual urine left in the bladder from incomplete emptying. The Luja Coude Catheter moves beyond standard catheter design with next-generation Micro-hole Zone Technology. These 80+ micro-holes enable complete urine drainage in one free flow, without the need for repositioning. Clinical evidence has shown that catheterization with the Luja requires close to zero flow stops and leaves minimal residual urine1, resulting in a lower risk for urinary tract infections.
Strongly Bonded With Triple Action Coating
Like the SpeediCath, the Luja features Coloplast's unique hydrophilic Triple Action Coating Technology. This coating's strongly bonded elements help protect the urethra in three ways:
- Stays Bonded. A proprietary base coat is covalently bonded to the catheter surface, providing an even coating with no dry spots. This ensures the coating stays bonded during insertion and withdrawal.
- Stays Smooth. The polymer topcoat enables excellent water absorption, creating a smooth, low-friction surface that is gentle to insert.
- Stays Hydrated. A special water-based solution swells the coating so that the catheter is ready to use right away.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How is the Luja Coude different from the SpeediCath Flex Coude Pro?
The Luja builds upon the benefits of the SpeediCath. Both feature Coloplast's Triple Action Coating and come in discreet, nonmedical packaging. However, unlike the Luja, the SpeediCath Flex Pro has conventional eyelets rather than micro-holes.
Is the Luja available with a straight tip?
It is currently only available with a coude tip.
Can this catheter be purchased without a prescription?
No, it is a prescription-only product.
