Key Features & Clinical Applications
-
PIC™ Container Design: Constructed from a lightweight, shatterproof ethylene/propylene copolymer that is entirely PVC-free and DEHP-free, eliminating the risk of plasticizer leaching during storage.
-
Non-Drip Pouring Lip: Engineered with a sterile, recessed set port and precise pouring lip to prevent spills, messes, and accidental contamination during overhead field irrigation.
-
High-Visibility Index: Because water has a low refractive index (1.3325), it provides excellent visibility during endoscopic urological irrigation procedures.
-
Ergonomic Grip: The molded-in handle enables a firm, single-handed grip for steady pouring during rapid clinical response scenarios.
-
Clinical Use: Indicated for general wound cleansing, surgical site preparation, surgical instrument cleaning, and diagnostic washing of body cavities.
⚠️ Black Box & Safety Alert: NOT FOR INJECTION. This solution is explicitly labeled for irrigation only. Intravenous administration or entry into systemic circulation can cause severe fluid and electrolyte imbalances, leading to hemolysis (rupturing of red blood cells).
⚠️ Usage Note: Single-dose container. This product lacks antimicrobial preservatives; any unused portion must be discarded immediately after opening.
⚠️ Warm Room Warning: Avoid exposing the plastic containers to excessive heat. Do not warm the solution above 66°C (150°F) or store it in unvalidated warming cabinets long-term.
