Instillagel Anaesthetic Antiseptic Lubricant
Instillagel combines three essential functions in a single, ready-to-use formulation: lubrication, anesthetic (2% lidocaine hydrochloride), and antimicrobial (0.25% chlorhexidine gluconate). Supplied in sterile pre-filled syringes (6 ml or 11 ml), it adheres well to mucosal surfaces and remains effective throughout urological, gynecological, rectal, ENT, and endoscopic procedures. Instillagel reduces patient discomfort during catheterization, probe, or instrument insertion while helping to reduce infection risk. Latex-free, water-soluble, and free from fats and non-sterile residues, it ensures visibility and smooth instrument passage. Trusted in clinical settings for over 30 years in the UK and Europe
