Instillagel is a sterile, pre-filled gel designed for local anaesthesia, lubrication, and antiseptic protection during urological procedures such as catheterisation, cystoscopy, or other minor interventions involving mucous membranes. It offers a single-use solution that ensures patient comfort and reduces infection risk.
How It Works
Instillagel combines lidocaine hydrochloride (a fast-acting local anaesthetic), chlorhexidine digluconate (a broad-spectrum antiseptic), and methyl hydroxybenzoate (a preservative). Lidocaine blocks nerve signals to provide pain relief, while chlorhexidine eliminates bacteria and helps prevent urinary tract infections. The gel formulation acts as a lubricant, easing insertion and reducing trauma to sensitive tissues.
Why Choose Instillagel
Instillagel is a trusted choice in clinical settings due to its triple-action formulation. It reduces discomfort, lowers infection risk, and simplifies the insertion of catheters or surgical instruments. Its pre-filled syringe packaging ensures sterility, precision dosing, and ease of use. Instillagel is available in different volumes and is frequently used across NHS and private healthcare systems for both male and female patients.
Important Note
Instillagel should only be used under the guidance of a healthcare professional. It is intended for single-use only and should not be reused. Use with caution in patients with known sensitivity to local anaesthetics or antiseptics. Prolonged or repeated use may cause hypersensitivity reactions. Not suitable for use on broken skin or for intravenous administration.
