OptiLube sterile lubricating jelly

OptiLube sterile lubricating jelly is a medical device, developed to aid smooth insertion
during a range of examinations and procedures.

The use of sterile lubricating jelly during procedures and examinations reduces the risk of pain and trauma to the patient, by reducing resistance during insertion needed for medical procedures and examinations.

We offer OptiLube sterile lubricating jelly in a range of sizes and formats, from 2.7g sachets, up to 113g tubes. Our range of formats allows the clinician to select the size most suitable for the procedure, reducing product waste and promoting best practice infection prevention with the use of our single-use formats.

Sterile, single-use sachets

OptiLube sterile lubricating jelly is available in 2.7g, 5g and 20g sachets.

Our sachets are easy to open and designed for procedures and examinations requiring a smaller volume of lubrication.

These single-use sachets promote best practice infection prevention and reduce cross-contamination between patients.

Larger volume tubes

Our larger volume tubes of OptiLube sterile lubricating jelly are ideal for when more lubricant is required. We offer OptiLube sterile lubricating jelly in 42g, 82g and 113g tubes with flip-caps to allow easy opening and closing for reapplication.

OptiLube tubes are supplied sterile and remain sterile until opened. Once opened they have a lifetime of up to 3 months.

Lubrication for catheterisation

In addition to our OptiLube sachets and tubes, we also have a range of catheterisation jelly syringes, developed specifically for use during catheterisation. All pre-filled syringes in our catheterisation jelly range are single-use and sterile.

OptiLube Active contains local anaesthetic (Lidocaine 2%) and antiseptic (Chlorhexidine Gluconate 0.05%)

OptiLube Active CHG Free contains local anaesthetic (Lidocaine 2%).

OptiLube sterile lubrication syringe contains no active ingredients.

What people have to say about OptiLube

I use OptiLube 5g sachets several times a day. I had cancer and my voice box was removed so I have to breath and voice through a hole in my neck called a stoma. I have a stoma stud which houses a filter to protect my lungs. The hole in my neck became very sore so I was unable to insert the stoma stud which as you can imagine was not ideal. I became very frustrated and down in the dumps. I was on the internet looking for something that could help me and found OptiLube. I thought this could be my saviour and how right I was. I immediately contacted Optimum Medical and they sent out a free sample of OptiLube sterile lubricating jelly. I can’t thank Optimum Medical enough – OptiLube has changed my life.

My husband has a urethral stricture which was the result of an operation he had as a child. He self catheterises once a week usually as this keeps the stricture open. He previously didn’t use lubricant but found it difficult doing the procedure and kept getting water infections following. Since using OptiLube pre-filled syringes he finds it much easier and hasn’t had one water infection since.

Choosing the OptiLube range has been a great decision for my practice and patients. The gel is high quality and consistently performs extremely well on all of the many procedures it is required for.

Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust changed to Optilube sterile 5g sachets back in November 2010. The Clinicians like the small individual sachets. The gel has the right consistency and suits all our clinical needs. We are very happy with the product.
