Do you worry about concealing your catheter? Luja™ Coudé pocket size is your new ally, designed to fit seamlessly into your pocket and your life! Its discreet design means you can carry it with confidence. Say goodbye to worrying about concealing your catheter or stressing about bathroom availability. Discreet, pocket-sized, and ready for whatever comes next!

*Valid prescription required. Limitations apply.

Prior to use, refer to product labeling for complete product instructions for use, contraindications, warnings and precautions.

Luja Coudé is indicated for use by patients with urine retention and patients with post void residual volume (PVR) due to neurogenic and non-neurogenic voiding dysfunction. The catheter is inserted into the urethra to reach the bladder allowing urine to drain. The product is indicated for male patients only (adults and pediatric above the age of 1 years). Available by prescription only. Patients performing self-catheterization should follow the advice of, and direct questions about use of the product to, their medical professional. Apply with caution if the patient produces urine with many particles clearly distinguishable by the naked eye, as it may lead to transient urine retention. Before using the device, carefully read the product labels and information accompanying the device including the instructions for use which contain additional safety information. For single-use only; discard it after use. If you experience symptoms of a urinary tract infection, or are unable to pass the catheter into the bladder, contact your healthcare professional. The risk information provided here is not comprehensive. To learn more, talk to your healthcare provider. For further information, call Coloplast Corp. at 1-866-226-6362 and/or consult the company website at www.coloplast.us.

It’s SCI Awareness Day!

Did you know that falls are one of the top causes of spinal cord injuries worldwide? They can happen anywhere: at home, work, or just out and about.

The good news? A lot of falls are preventable. And for people already living with SCI, avoiding falls is just as important to stay independent and mobile.

Let’s look out for each other and make our spaces safer for everyone. 💙
