Our Catheterisation Jelly

Our catheterisation jelly syringes are used every day by healthcare professionals all around the world. To give healthcare professionals more choice, we offer a range of lubricating gels suitable for catheterisation procedures, all provided in an easy-to-use syringe format.

In this article we give an overview of our catheterisation jelly range, but for more detailed information about the range please contact your dedicated account manager or email enquiries@optimummedical.co.uk.

Benefits of the range

These individually wrapped, sterile syringes come available in 6ml or 11ml volume to help ensure the full length of the urethra is coated in lubricant and an aseptic procedure is achieved. The intuitive syringe design is ideally suited for single-handed operation and the rounded syringe tip has been designed to eliminate the risk of damage to tissue. 

The range of catheterisation jelly we provide at Optimum Medical allows healthcare professionals to make an informed choice about which lubricant is most suitable for the patient based on individual patient assessment and local catheterisation procedure policies.

Making a choice

OptiLube syringes – OptiLube syringes are suitable for both urethral and suprapubic catheterisation. We recommend using OptiLube syringes for all routine suprapubic catheterisation procedures. OptiLube syringes are water soluble and contains no active ingredients, meaning it’s ideal for patients with allergies, sensitivities or contraindications to Lidocaine or Chlorexidine Gluconate (CHG).

OptiLube Active – OptiLube Active brings the added benefits of local anaesthetic (Lidocaine 2%) to prevent pain and antiseptic (Chlorhexidine Gluconate 0.05%) to reduce the risk of infection.

OptiLube Active CHG Free – OptiLube Active CHG Free contains the benefit of local anaesthetic (Lidocaine 2%) only. So, it’s ideal for patients with contraindications to Chlorhexidine Gluconate.
