Instillagel 6ml is a sterile, single-use medical lubricant and local anesthetic gel formulated for safe, pain-free medical procedures. Each pre-filled syringe contains a clear, viscous gel combining a local anesthetic with antiseptic properties, designed to lubricate, numb, and protect delicate mucosal tissues during catheterization, cystoscopy, and other instrumentation procedures.
This specialized clinical lubricant is recommended for procedures such as:
Urethral Catheterization: Providing pain relief and lubrication for smooth catheter insertion in both male and female patients.
Endoscopy & Cystoscopy: Numbing the urethral or mucosal lining to minimize patient discomfort during diagnostic and therapeutic examinations.
Urological & Gynaecological Procedures: Reducing friction and preventing trauma to sensitive tissues during medical manipulation.
Lidocaine Hydrochloride (2% w/v): A fast-acting local anesthetic that numbs nerve endings to eliminate pain and burning sensations during instrumentation.
Chlorhexidine Gluconate (0.25% w/v): A broad-spectrum antiseptic agent that helps reduce the risk of introducing bacteria or causing localized infections during catheterization.
Aqueous Hydrophilic Gel Base: Provides long-lasting, smooth lubrication without sticky residues.
Allergy Alert: Do not use Instillagel if you are allergic to local anesthetics of the amide type (such as lidocaine) or to chlorhexidine antiseptics. Use with caution in patients with severely traumatized or bleeding urethral mucosa, as excessive systemic absorption of lidocaine can occur.
Do Not Re-use: Each syringe is sterile and intended for single use only. Discard any unused gel remaining in the syringe immediately after the procedure to prevent contamination.
Standard Administration Guidelines:
Instillagel is a professional medical device typically administered by trained healthcare personnel, nurses, or doctors.
The standard 6ml volume is pre-measured for precise, single-application use.
How It Is Applied:
The area is cleaned according to standard aseptic techniques.
The tip of the sterile syringe is carefully placed at the urethral opening or target site.
The gel is slowly expressed into the passage, allowing a few minutes for the lidocaine to take full anesthetic effect before introducing the catheter or instrument.
While generally safe when used as directed, potential side effects can include:
Rare local allergic reactions, redness, or stinging at the application site
Systemic side effects from lidocaine absorption are extremely rare with standard 6ml doses unless the mucosal lining is severely damaged or bleeding
Store below 25°C in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme heat. Do not freeze.
Keep individual syringes in their sterile packaging until ready for immediate use.
Keep strictly out of reach and sight of children.
The inclusion of chlorhexidine helps disinfect the insertion site and acts as a preventative barrier against procedure-related bacterial infections.
Lidocaine typically begins to numb the area within 3 to 5 minutes after instillation, ensuring the patient is comfortable before catheter insertion begins.
