What makes this product stand out?

IOLITE Benzocaine 20% gel combines high-concentration benzocaine (200mg per gram) with a smooth, adhesive gel base that maintains contact with mucosal tissues for effective numbing. Fast-acting with no systemic absorption and rapid onset within 30 seconds. The Pina Colada flavor is specially formulated to prevent a bitter aftertaste while minimizing salivation, allowing the oral anesthetic effect to prevail.

Key advantages include:

  • 20% benzocaine (200mg per gram) delivers quick, localized numbing within 30 seconds
  • Gel texture promotes precise application and adhesion to mucosal tissues
  • Pina Colada flavor prevents bitter aftertaste while minimizing salivation
  • Contains Vitamin E and Xylitol for enhanced comfort and caries prevention
  • Fast-acting with no systemic absorption for safe, effective relief

What is this product made of?

IOLITE Benzocaine 20% gel features benzocaine as an active ingredient in a smooth, clear gel base with Vitamin E and Xylitol. The gel maintains benzocaine contact with the target mucosal area, providing temporary surface anesthesia before injections or minor soft tissue procedures.

This formulation delivers predictable topical anesthesia that enhances comfort and procedural readiness without extra preparation steps.

Sizing & selection

Correct topical anesthetic gel selection matches formulation strength, ease of placement, and practice workflow.

Application strength:

20% benzocaine gel (200 mg per gram) delivers robust surface numbing appropriate for brief, localized relief with a 30-second rapid onset. Weaker formulations may suit very mild irritation.

Form factor:

Gel formulations spread easily and stay in place on mucosa, delivering precise application on specific areas. Fast-acting with no systemic absorption. Ointments may be thicker and harder to place accurately.

Container size:

A 1.12 oz (1 oz / 34 g) tube balances frequent clinical use with manageable shelf space. Available in multiple pack sizes (1, 5, 10, 24, and 48 packs) for high-volume practices.

Flavor and patient comfort:

Pina Colada flavor improves patient acceptance, especially among those sensitive to strong medicinal tastes. Specially formulated to prevent bitter aftertaste while minimizing salivation. Also available in Cherry Tart, Mint, Bubble Gum, Strawberry, Raspberry, Concord Grape, Mango Parfait, and Strawberry Shortcake flavors.

Special ingredients:

Vitamin E delivers additional tissue comfort. Xylitol provides caries prevention through specific inhibition of mutans streptococci, safe for diabetics and individuals with hyperglycemia.

Topical anesthetic gel with a 30-second onset delivers smoother clinical interaction and enhanced patient comfort when targeted mucosal numbing and quick onset matter.
