Wound Wash Saline® is a multi-use, isotonic sterile saline solution packaged in a bag-incan aerosol system. Actuation of the device (product can) delivers a consistent flow of sterile isotonic saline solution at published safe and effective wound impact pressures of 4 to15 psi [Clinical Practice Guideline Number 15, AHCPR, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services]. The mechanical action of isotonic saline solution moving across the wound aids in the removal of foreign material, such as dirt and debris, as well as any necrotic tissue, wound exudate and other extraneous matter. No preservatives are added since the finished device is sterilized by gamma irradiation under parameters that have been validated according to ISO/AAMI 11137 requirements [Sterilization of health care products - Requirements for validation and routine control- Radiation sterilization]. Wound Wash Saline® passes the USP<71> Sterility Test. Wound Wash Saline® is an OTC device and will only be labeled for use in cleansing wounds, including the removal of foreign material such as dirt and debris.
