Frequently Asked Questions
Is your medical lubricant suitable for both general examinations and catheter insertion procedures?
▼
Yes, our range of water-soluble sterile lubricating jelly is designed for a broad range of clinical uses. They provide optimal glide to minimise friction and patient discomfort during procedures like gynaecological exams, rectal exams, and the safe insertion of catheters.
What distinguishes a sterile lubricating jelly from a general lubricant?
▼
Sterile lubricating jelly is specifically manufactured and packaged for clinical use, ensuring it meets sterility requirements for invasive procedures. Non-sterile lubricants may be fine for external or non-invasive tasks but are not appropriate when instruments or devices enter mucous membranes or sterile body spaces.
Is all lubricating jelly safe to use with latex or silicone devices?
▼
Not necessarily. Some oil-based or silicone-based lubricants may degrade latex and are incompatible with certain devices. Water-based, latex- and silicone-compatible lubricants are preferred for clinical use.
How should medical lubricant be stored and handled to maintain safety?
▼
Lubricants should be stored in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight. Single-use sachets are preferred for sterile applications.
