Locally.
To the preparation Helikain (packing 30 grams), three sterile packaged applicators are attached,with the help of which the gel can be introduced into the ureter. Immediately after use, the applicator must be unscrewed from the tube and disposed of. For the next application, take a sterile applicator from the package and screw it onto the tube. After use, the tubes should be immediately closed. With proper application, the contents of the tube remain sterile and after repeated gel-taking. Tools after use must be wiped off immediately with a damp cloth to avoid sticking the gel.
Doses and duration of application
The maximum daily dose of Helicaine should not exceed 30 g of gel (600 mg of lidocaine) per patient.
For performing medical and diagnostic manipulations, for example, with intubation, endoscopy, catheterization, probing:
