General-body orifice lubricant, non-sterile

General-body orifice lubricants are non-sterile substances designed to ease the insertion of medical devices through body openings like the rectum, vagina, or urethra by minimizing friction. They are applied directly to the device or orifice to improve comfort and reduce trauma during procedures such as catheterization or endoscopic exams.

These lubricants are typically classified as low-risk medical devices and are widely available over-the-counter or via prescription, depending on jurisdiction. They are single-use only and must be discarded after application to maintain hygiene and prevent contamination.
