Instillagel Sterile Gel

What is Instillagel?

Instillagel is a sterile, pre-filled gel that provides both antiseptic and local anaesthetic properties, offering fast and effective relief from pain and discomfort. Commonly used for urological, gynaecological, and rectal procedures, it helps to ease discomfort during catheterisation, cystoscopy, and other medical procedures requiring lubrication and infection control.

Instillagel contains a combination of lidocaine hydrochloride, an effective local anaesthetic that numbs the area, and chlorhexidine, a powerful antiseptic that helps to prevent infection. This dual-action formula ensures comfort and safety during medical examinations and treatments.

Why Choose Instillagel?

Instillagel is widely trusted by healthcare professionals for its:

• Dual-Action Formula: Provides both pain relief and infection prevention.
• Sterile Pre-Filled Applicator: Ensures a hygienic and easy application.
• Fast-Acting Relief: Numbs the area quickly for comfort during procedures.
• Versatile Use: Suitable for urological, gynaecological, and rectal applications.
• Clinically Proven Ingredients: Formulated with trusted medical-grade components.

How Does Instillagel Work?

Instillagel works by combining two key active ingredients:

1. Lidocaine Hydrochloride (Local Anaesthetic): Blocks nerve signals in the applied area, providing immediate pain relief and numbing sensation.
2. Chlorhexidine Gluconate (Antiseptic): Eliminates harmful bacteria, reducing the risk of infection during medical procedures.

By combining these ingredients, Instillagel offers a soothing and protective solution for a range of applications, ensuring patient comfort and safety.

How to Use Instillagel

For optimal results, follow these simple steps:

1. Prepare the Area: Clean the affected area thoroughly before application.
2. Open the Packaging: Twist off the cap from the pre-filled syringe.
3. Apply the Gel: Gently insert the syringe tip into the area and slowly dispense the gel.
4. Dispose of the Applicator: After use, discard the syringe in a proper medical waste container.

Always follow your healthcare professional’s instructions to ensure safe and effective use.
