| osmolality |
the osmotic (pressure of which water is drawn through a semipermeable membrane) pressure of a substance. ie the property that liquids have to equalise concentrations. The patented addition of salt to the LoFric catheter coating is unique. It ensures balanced osmolality and so optimises both water binding and water retaining properties. This considerably reduces the risk of the catheter sticking and causing trauma to the delicate structures of the urethra. ...

| osmolality |
An indicator of the total number of small particles (eg, sodium, glucose) in a solution. Osmolality can influence the movement of water across a membrane (eg, the intestinal wall) such that water is pulled from a lower concentration of particles (lower osmolality) to a higher concentration of particles (higher osmolality).
