At Optimum Medical we’re guided by the clinicians who use our products, and it’s this demand that has led us to developing our range of catheterisation jellies; designed to offer clinicians a choice while helping to improve patient outcomes. What is catheterisation? The insertion of a catheter can be painful for the patient, which is why the clinician will use catheterisation jelly, a lubricating gel specifically developed to aid the insertion of the catheter, minimising pain and reducing the risk of infection and trauma. Why do we offer a range of catheterisation gels? Chlorhexidine has been identified as the cause of hypersensitivity reactions in some patients, which is why we offer a choice of three catheterisation jellies. Please bear in mind, some courier services may be operating reduced hours. If you're not sure whether your urgent delivery will get to you in time, give us a call on 020 3987 7560 and we'll be happy to help.

OptiLube Active brings the added benefits of a local anaesthetic (Lidocaine 2%) and antiseptic (Chlorhexidine Gluconate 0.05%). OptiLube Active is part of our catheterisation jelly range, a range of sterile, lubricating pre-filled syringes, developed specifically for use during urethral catheterisation. The ingredients are naturally hydrating so your skin will feel silky smooth when you’re done. It has a mild vanilla scent thanks to the vanilla flavor added, but nothing too strong. It’s even safe to swallow! They shared the pros and cons of different types of lubes, who would benefit from using lube, the best lube for different intentions, and ingredients to seek out or avoid. They also shed light on whether lube affects your risk for sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Ice cubes of Xanthan or J-lube® have been used by depth fisters to coat the upper fist chute. Various different ice cube trays create lots of possibilities. Make sure the to eliminate sharp edges. Some trays even allow you to create ice balls (like the one pictured here). Depth EvaluationsSmooth cone shaped tip designed for inserting in the urethra helps avoid accidental injury to the urethral opening and improve patient comfort. Uberlube’s Luxury Lubricant is silicone-based, meaning you only need a little bit to get you through a session, and it can be used for water play as well. It has these long-lasting lubricating benefits while being free from potentially harmful or irritating ingredients like parabens, glycerin, scents, and flavors. In fact, it has only four ingredients in total. The addition of vitamin E helps provide moisturization and softness. Standard plunger designs are compatible with both TriboLink-Si™ and TriboGlide-DSTM, with no changes in material or design required to maintain container closure integrity. Both of these lubricants are compatible with glass and plastic pharmaceutical containers…” The newest addition to our catheterisation jelly range is OptiLube Active CHG Free. OptiLube Active CHG Free contains the active ingredient 2% Lidocaine, helping to reduce pain during and after catheterisation, ideally suited for patients who display a sensitivity to chlorhexidine or in hospitals where chlorhexidine use for catheterisation is contraindicated. Glycerin-based lubes are typically marketed as water-based lubes. Look in the 'Health and Body' or 'Personal Care' sections—you can locate the lubes there alongside condoms. Pricing is minimal. Hybrids

If using a cream or lotion hybrid (see below), be aware of all product ingredients and any product warnings. Some items may burn the tissues inside the colon.Since many foods are composed of, or are prepared in oils, most lipid lubes are safe for direct consumption. Anecdotal evidence suggests that cholesterol can be higher in very active fisting Bottoms who use lipid-based lubes as their primary lubrication source. Catheterisation is a procedure carried out to drain urine by inserting a flexible tube called a catheter into the bladder. The catheter is inserted either through the urethra (urethral catheterisation) or through an incision in the lower abdomen (suprapubic catheterisation). For penetrative sex without a condom, we recommend WOO’s More Play Coconut Oil Lube because it has a subtle vanilla flavor and is safe to swallow. For penetrative sex with a condom, we recommend Lube Life’s Water-Based Personal Lubricant. Pre-filled syringes are full of lubricating gel and are ready to use. That means you can open with one hand to keep that hand sterile. Clean up is easiest by hyper saturation (pressure washing with excessive amounts of water). Hair conditioner or table-salt can break the cellulose bonds and 'cut' the lube. Marketing, Cost and Availability
