About Gelclair®

How does Gelclair® work?

Gelclair® is a viscous gel specially formulated to aid in the management of lesions of the oral mucosa. It forms a protective film that, by adhering to the mucosa of the oropharyngeal cavity, offers rapid and effective pain management.1 It is presented as a concentrated gel in sachets for dilution with water.

  • Gelclair® contains PVP (polyvinylpyrrolidone) and sodium hyaluronate in a liquid gel.

  • When applied around the mouth, Gelclair® forms a protective coating that adheres to the lining of the mouth.

  • The coating offers rapid and effective pain management.

  • Pain is significantly reduced following the first use of Gelclair®.

  • Gelclair® can potentially improve the ability to eat and drink and, unlike preparations with an alcohol or anaesthetic base, should not sting.

Intended Use
