Xylocaine 2% Jelly is designed to provide rapid* but short-term (about 20-30 minutes) numbing during medical procedures where lubrication is also needed.
These procedures include urinary catheterisation (a procedure where a tube is used to drain your bladder or collect urine) or endoscopic procedures (where a small flexible camera is inserted through your nose, mouth, rectum, or a small incision in the skin.
Xylocaine 2% Jelly can also be used to help provide pain relief after a child has been circumcised.
Your doctor will explain what happens during your test or procedure, why it is necessary, and
how using Xylocaine 2% Jelly as a topical anaesthetic might help.
