Instillagel Sterile Lubricant is designed for healthcare professionals and patients requiring sterile lubrication, local anesthesia, and disinfection for mucosal instillation procedures. Its key win is providing these three critical functions in a convenient, pre-filled disposable syringe, streamlining medical procedures and enhancing patient comfort. A key caveat is that this is a specialized medical product and should only be used under the guidance of a healthcare professional for its intended applications.
Sterile Lubricant: Ensures aseptic conditions, reducing the risk of infection during invasive procedures.
Local Anaesthetic: Contains a local anesthetic to minimize patient discomfort and pain during instillation.
Disinfectant for Mucosa: Includes a disinfectant component to help clean the mucosal surface, further preventing infection.
Pre-filled Disposable Syringes: Supplied in ready-to-use, single-dose 11ml syringes, promoting hygiene and ease of application.
Precise Dosing (11ml): Each syringe contains a standardized 11ml volume, aiding in consistent application.
Brand Reliability: Manufactured by CliniMed, a recognized brand in medical supplies.
Enhanced Patient Comfort: Local anesthetic significantly reduces pain during procedures.
Reduced Infection Risk: Sterile formulation combined with disinfectant properties offers dual protection.
Convenient and Hygienic: Pre-filled, disposable syringes simplify application and ensure single-use sterility.
Efficient Application: Ready-to-use format saves preparation time in clinical settings.
Accurate Dosage: Standardized 11ml syringes help ensure consistent application volumes.
Specialized Use: Designed strictly for mucosal instillation; not suitable for general lubrication or other uses.
Disposal Required: Single-use nature necessitates proper medical waste disposal after each application.
Requires Medical Supervision: Not an over-the-counter product for self-administration; must be used by or under the guidance of a healthcare professional.

Instillagel is formulated to provide immediate lubrication, local anesthesia, and mucosal disinfection, making it an indispensable tool for a range of medical procedures. When applied to mucous membranes, the gel creates a smooth, low-friction surface, facilitating the insertion of instruments like catheters or endoscopes, thereby reducing tissue trauma. The incorporated local anesthetic begins to act quickly, numbing the area to minimize patient discomfort during the procedure. Simultaneously, the disinfectant agent helps to cleanse the site, adding a layer of protection against potential infections.
Typical applications include:
Urethral Catheterization: Easing the passage of catheters into the urethra while providing pain relief and antiseptic action.
Cystoscopy: Lubricating the urethra and bladder during endoscopic examination.
Endoscopy (e.g., Gastroscopy, Colonoscopy): Facilitating instrument insertion and improving patient tolerance.
Proctoscopy/Sigmoidoscopy: Providing lubrication and comfort for rectal examinations.
Its pre-filled syringe format ensures that the product is sterile, ready for immediate use, and delivers a consistent 11ml dose, which is often sufficient for most instillation procedures. This design helps healthcare providers perform procedures more smoothly, safely, and with greater patient comfort.
Instillagel is supplied in pre-filled, disposable syringes, making setup straightforward and quick.
Inspect Syringe: Before use, visually inspect the syringe for any damage, leaks, or broken seals. Do not use if the syringe or its packaging appears compromised.
Prepare Site: Ensure the patient's skin around the application area is clean and prepared according to standard medical protocols.
Remove Cap: Twist or pull off the protective cap from the syringe tip just prior to application. Ensure the tip remains sterile.
Apply: Gently instill the gel into the mucosal area as directed by the medical procedure. Do not inject into the bloodstream.
Dispose: After a single use, immediately dispose of the syringe and any remaining gel in appropriate medical waste containers.
Instillagel is designed for mucosal instillation. It is generally compatible with common medical instruments and devices used in urology, gastroenterology, and other fields requiring sterile lubrication with local anesthetic and disinfectant properties. Always refer to specific device instructions for any contraindications with lubricants.
Storage: Store Instillagel in its original packaging at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and excessive heat. Do not freeze.
Maintain Sterility: Do not open the syringe until immediately before use. Once opened, the contents are no longer sterile and should be used or discarded promptly.
Single Use Only: Each syringe is for single patient use only. Do not attempt to re-sterilize or reuse the syringe, as this compromises sterility and patient safety.
Disposal: Dispose of used syringes and packaging according to local regulations for medical waste.
