Wound Cleansers for Clinical Wound Preparation
Wound cleansers are used for initial wound preparation, dressing change wound site cleansing, debridement support, traumatic wound irrigation and routine wound bed preparation across all clinical settings. The catalog stocks two product families: dermal wound cleansers (Smith & Nephew) for routine wound site cleansing, and sterile normal saline irrigation (Nurse Assist) in the full bottle and spray range from 3 ounce spray cans through 1000mL screw-top irrigation bottles. The product mix covers wound care center, hospital, surgery center, long-term care and home health irrigation requirements.

Spray Format for Hands-Free Wound Flush
The 3 oz saline wound flush spray can format provides hands-free wound site flushing - one-handed application allows the clinician to maintain wound positioning while spraying the irrigant. Used in ambulatory wound care, home health, emergency department triage and any setting where bedside positioning and one-handed application are required. The spray pattern is engineered for wound irrigation rather than misting.
IV Flush Syringe Format
Nurse Assist prefilled 3 mL normal saline syringes in 12 mL barrel size are used for IV line flush, central line maintenance, port flush, peripheral line patency maintenance and small-volume sterile saline applications. The prefilled format eliminates the need to draw up saline from larger vials at the bedside, reducing contamination risk and saving clinical preparation time. Case format is 400 syringes per case - a high-velocity SKU in any facility running IV access programs.
Wound cleansers and sterile saline irrigation are consumed across nearly every clinical workflow involving wound care, IV access or surgical preparation - moderate-to-high consistent volume across hospital, surgery center and long-term care procurement. The Smith & Nephew Dermal Wound Cleanser line covers routine cleansing, and the Nurse Assist sterile saline range covers the full irrigation volume requirement.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between wound cleansers and sterile saline irrigation?
Sterile normal saline (USP 0.9%) is a salt-water solution used for routine wound irrigation and flush - it is isotonic, non-irritating and the default cleansing agent for most wound preparation applications. Wound cleansers (such as Smith & Nephew Dermal Wound Cleanser) are formulated cleansing solutions that include additional ingredients beyond saline - typically surfactants or cleansing agents designed to help lift debris, exudate and bioburden from the wound surface during dressing changes. Saline is the default for irrigation; formulated wound cleansers are used at dressing changes for routine wound site cleansing.
What sizes are sterile saline irrigation bottles available in?
The catalog stocks sterile normal saline irrigation in 100mL screw-top bottles (48 per case), 120mL foil-lid cup format (48 per case), 250mL screw-top bottles (24 per case), 500mL screw-top square bottles and 1000mL screw-top bottles for large-volume irrigation. Spray-can format is available in 3 oz for hands-free wound flush. The 120mL foil-lid cup format is preferred for sterile field decant where the clinician needs to pour saline into a sterile receptacle on the procedure tray.
Are IV flush syringes the same product as wound irrigation saline?
Both contain sterile USP normal saline 0.9%, but the IV flush syringe format (Nurse Assist # 1203-BP, 3 mL in a 12 mL syringe) is a prescription (Rx) product specifically packaged for IV line flush, central line maintenance and port flush applications. The format and packaging are engineered for IV access workflow. Wound irrigation saline in bottles and spray formats is used for wound surface irrigation. The underlying saline solution is the same; the format determines the appropriate clinical use.
Can hospitals and surgery centers order wound cleansers and saline in bulk?
Yes. Wound cleansers and sterile saline irrigation are stocked in case quantities (24 to 48 bottles per case typical) for hospitals, surgery centers, wound care centers, long-term care facilities, home health agencies and licensed distributors. IV flush syringes are stocked at 400 per case. Standing order programs are routine for both saline irrigation and IV flush syringes given consistent high-volume consumption. Contact our procurement team for case pricing and standing order setup.
What wound cleansers and saline should be included in a facility formulary?
A complete facility wound preparation formulary covers sterile normal saline irrigation in three to four bottle sizes (100mL or 120mL for single-patient routine use, 250mL for larger wounds, 500mL or 1000mL for large-volume OR and traumatic wound irrigation), spray-can format for ambulatory and hands-free applications, IV flush syringes (3 mL prefilled) for IV access programs, and formulated dermal wound cleanser in 8 oz and 16 oz formats for dressing change cleansing. Contact our team to size formulary quantities to facility wound care and IV access program volume.
