OptiLube is designed for a range of procedures, to help improve comfort during and after. For more information about OptiLube, download our brochure here.
OptiLube is a sterile, water-soluble lubricating jelly which can be used for a wide range of healthcare-related procedures.
It’s intended to aid the smooth insertion of catheters, but also in other areas such as endoscopy, gynaecological examination, rectal examinations and cystoscopy. OptiLube is specifically formulated to adhere well to gloves and equipment to provide maximum comfort for you. The water-soluble solution will be absorbed into your body after use, limiting residue and stickiness.
OptiLube is available in a sachet, tube and syringe format. The format you choose will depend on what you are using OptiLube for.
OptiLube is available in syringe, tube and sachet formats. We offer OptiLube in a wide variety of formats and sizes to ensure there is a single-use format to suit you. OptiLube syringes are available in 6ml and 11ml, specifically developed for use during catheterisation. During catheterisation the lubricant is instilled directly into the urethra. The formula is slightly different as it must coat the inside of the urethra before the catheter is inserted. The urethra is long and narrow, so a slightly thinner formulation ensures effective lubrication. OptiLube sachets and tubes have a slightly thicker viscosity to effectively coat gloves and medical equipment required for a wide range of procedures.
OptiLube is a water-soluble healthcare lubrication which means it offers effective lubrication but is absorbed into the body quickly. Due to the fast absorption of OptiLube it is not recommended for use during sexual activities where you may require lubrication for an extended time. For sexual use, you would be better suited to purchase a lubrication that has been specifically formulated to offer “long-lasting” lubrication.
Yes! If you’d prefer to call us rather than placing your order on the website, that’s absolutely fine. Simply call +44(0)113 263 3849 and one of our friendly customer care advisors will process your order. Our phone lines are manned Monday - Friday from 8am - 7pm GMT.
People love OptiLube, and we love to hear what they have to say...
My husband has a urethral stricture which was the result of an operation he had as a child. He self catheterises once a week usually as this keeps the stricture open. He previously didn't use lubricant but found it difficult doing the procedure and kept getting water infections following. Since using OptiLube he finds it much easier and hasn't had one water infection since.
I use OptiLube 5g sachets several times a day. I had cancer and my voice box was removed so I have to breath and voice through a hole in my neck called a stoma. I have a stoma stud which houses a filter to protect my lungs. The hole in my neck became very sore so I was unable to insert the stoma stud which as you can imagine was not ideal. I became very frustrated and down in the dumps. I was on the internet looking for something that could help me and found OptiLube. I thought this could be my saviour and how right I was. I immediately contacted Optimum Medical and they sent out a free sample of OptiLube sterile lubricating jelly. I can't thank Optimum Medical enough - OptiLube has changed my life.
