What is sterile lubricating jelly used for? Sterile lubricating jelly such as Surgilube is used by clinicians to lubricate instruments, catheters, gloved fingers and body openings during diagnostic and surgical procedures. The sterile, water-based formulation reduces friction and patient discomfort whilst minimising the risk of introducing contaminants.
Is Surgilube sterile and water-based? Yes. Each 2.7g sachet is sterile until opened, and the gel is water-soluble, so it wipes and rinses away without an oily residue on instruments or linen.
The sachet format is practical for procedure trolleys, catheter packs, examination rooms and home-care kits, giving you a measured dose without the waste or contamination concerns of multi-use tubes.
