Water Soluble LUBRICATING JELLY 3 gm, 144 Individual Sterile Packets

I had a female family member that required 24/7 care after hospitalization and a near death experience. Her body had shut down and her urination muscles hadn't kicked back in yet, so she still needed to be catheterized for urination, but couldn't do it herself. She was a little prone to UTI infections as well. All catheters and all lubricants are not created equal! I will spare you the details, but want to say that this had the right amount of slide, was sterile, and affordable. Our family is so grateful we found this. If you have extra supplies left after a patient has recovered please donate to a center in your community that donates this stuff. They saved us. There is a lot that medicare and medicaid do not cover and you wouldn't believe how much just the smallest things cost and how quickly it all adds up.

I am an oxygen dependent bed confined home patient. When you get continuous oxygen through a nasal cannula it literally tares your nostrils up. Your nostrils are dried out from the oxygen blast. A humidifier brings some relief, but it is imperfect at best. I asked my oxygen provider technician if there were any tricks to clear up cracking and bleeding nostrils due to oxygen use. He said to purchase water soluable lubricating gel and it would solve the problem. It would allow the nostril tissues to heal and be comfortable during oxygen therapy. Of course, my first stop was Amazon to find this nose saving gel. I decided on the individual packets as they would be sterile for use. My technician was absolutely spot on about the curative value of water soluable lubricating gel. Within two days of use, months of yuck and pain literally disappeared. I am much more comfortable. My breathing is not obstructed by sores and scabbing (tmi, but necessary). No more horrible nose bleeds. This product is much safer than vaseline which can flame up when used with oxygen. This product is a winner for oxygen users. I highly recommend this product.

This will do what you want conveniently and for the price.

The product itself is fine. However, the three boxes were shipped in a bag and not a box this time and ALL three boxes were crushed open and all the lubricant packages were loose inside the bag. Very poor shipping quality and very disappointing. We had to scoop all the individual packets into a large box we had at home.

I bought these because my son needed some to help insert his NG tube and I didn't want to buy a big tube since it wouldn't be very sanitary. I thought these work great, just that the jelly packs were a bit small and sometimes I needed to use almost 2 packs instead of one. These would be great to add to first aid packs. If there was an option of buy half of this packet, it would have been perfect, but there was no option to buy 77, but all 144. That's a lot of packets for a small family. Still it was very fairly priced as well so I was overall happy with my purchase.

I have used many types and brands of this type of lubricant, all contained a bacteriostatic ingredient. This is as good or better than all the rest. This is the best for the price. I like it so much I ordered 4 more boxes. I would recommend to all, to buy a brand that always has a bacteriostatic listed, and in individual packets. I have been self-Cathing for about 5 years now and have never had a health problem due to cathing. I used the free shipping and the packing and shipping was very good. I would buy this same product from amazon again.

If you cath then you know the trials when Surgilube was having issues with pre-packs. So, I trolled around for a replacement. This is the equivalent in every way of the Surgilube (I feel). The packets are a type of impregnated paper and tear very easily. Easy to dip catheter in packet. Just enough for one use. I make small "kits". Take catheter, tape one alcohol pad, one handi-wipe, and one lube packet to the catheter pack. Then you are ready to go with a small self-contained unit.

I have always used another, well know brand and saw this comparison on a re-order and decided to give it a try. I was priced lower and came in a easy open pack. The one click ordering was a snap. The order arrived on time and in good condition. I have used this jelly for several weeks now and will never pay more for the other brand. I am very satisfied and recommend giving it a try if you use sterile, water soluble lubrication jelly on any regular basis.
