SuperLube™
An all-purpose antiseptic lubricant that also kills micro-organisms.
Protects tissue by reducing the abrasive effect of retainers, hands and gloves. Makes lambs that have “gone dry” inside the ewe easier to pull. Will not irritate internal tissue.
Apply to the pins/shafts of ear tags for smoother insertion and reduced infection risk.
- Unlike some soaps, it will not irritate internal tissue.
- Protects the tissue by reducing the abrasive, impact of fingers, retainers, plastic gloves, etc.
- Plastic bottle to prevent breakage or spillage.
Common Uses
- Can be used to coat latex and OB gloves for the reduced risk of disease transmission during prolapses repair or assisted birth.
- When added to ear tags, makes insertion much easier (requires much less hand strength to press male tag into the female tag). It also reduces infection risk. Antiseptic gel reduces ability of microbes from surface of ear tissue to cause infection in the "wound".
- Helps with smooth insertion of CIDR inserts.

Best I have used, better than I have expected. Do not be fooled by genetics or something you can use from home. It is just thick enough to hold still onto the tag. We had some restless kids we juggled this year and the lube held tight to the commotion and did not slip. There is a difference in piercing with and without the product. I will never go without.

I have used this before and am replenishing my supply. It is a great lubricant, has a good consistency. Some are too liquidy.

SuperLube is a must-have product for assisting ewes in labor. Years ago, we used non-antiseptic lube and saw many infections. So while it is still a good idea to give antibiotics to assisted ewes, SuperLube absolutely helps reduce incidences of uterine infection.

Excellent product.

Love the size option. Not much difference between price of size if debating on what size to buy I'd recommend buying the slightly larger size just to be sure you have enough. I bought the middle size, mostly due to my herd size and not wanting it to sit around and then be tossed. This way you don't have to worry about not having enough or feeling like you are using too much and will run out. I am pleased with the thicker consistency and that it is not overly slippery. Hard to squeeze out of the bottle, but works well. I just used it last night, while helping to deliver a lamb. I keep a bottle of it in my lambing grab and go backpack.
