A novel presentation of saline for wound irrigation

Abstract
Laboratory studies were carried out to investigate whether a multiuse container of sodium chloride 0.9% presents a cross-infection risk when used for wound irrigation. The container was subjected to bacterial contamination well in excess of that normally encountered during wound dressing procedures. It was concluded that this product is appropriate for community and hospital use provided that normal, sensible precautions are observed
