Instructions for use

Xylocaine 10mg Spray®

Non-sterile solution for topical spraying, delivered through a pump spray fitted with a non-sterile, single use plastic nozzle (approximately 120 mm in length), for single-patient use.

Remove the protective cap from the plastic nozzle and attach the nozzle to the valve. Each activation of the metering valve delivers 10 mg of lidocaine. The number of sprays needed will depend on the size of the area to be anaesthetised.

The 10% lidocaine spray provides rapid, deep anaesthesia of the mucous membranes, lasting around 10-15 minutes. Anaesthesia sets in within 1-3 minutes, depending on the surface area applied.

The bottle is supplied with one single-use nozzle. Do not forget to order additional individual nozzles separately, specific to Xylocaine 10mg Spray® (SDDCNOZZ120).

Precautions for Use

Avoid contact with eyes. In case of accidental spraying, rinse eyes immediately with plenty of water.

Do not spray on the cuff of the endotracheal tube, as this may cause small holes, leading to leaks and loss of pressure in the cuff.

Do not share nozzles between patients or reuse them for the same patient to prevent the risk of cross-contamination.

This product is non-sterile and is not recommended for use in procedures requiring aseptic techniques.

Do not use for lubricating urinary catheters (use sterile water-based lubricant or sterile water) or gastric tubes (use drinking water) before insertion.
