Cathejell is a sterile gel used as a lubricant for catheters, endoscopes or other medical instruments.
It is intended for use on mucous membranes. Due to its lubricant effect, local anaesthetic and antibacterial action, it is designed to relieve pain during such procedures and prevent most infections. The effect sets in as early as 5-10 minutes after application and lasts for 20-30 minutes.
Cathejell is indicated in adults, adolescents and children from 2 to 11 years.
As a local anaesthetic, it contains lidocaine. In surface anaesthesia, it generally takes effect in about 3-5 minutes. In inflamed tissue, the effect is reduced.
To avoid infections at the application site, Cathejell contains chlorhexidine. This agent disinfects and acts against many bacteria, some fungi and viruses.
