KRUUSE Wound Flushing Solution

The KRUUSE Wound Flushing Solution sachet contains the correct amount of electrolyte to add to the Wound Flushing System to produce 3L of body temperature physiological saline solution.

The sachet also includes 0.04% polyhexanide (PHMB), an antiseptic, used as a preservative. This solution is ideal for professional wound lavage in a busy surgical or single handed field setting.

The Importance of Wound Lavage

Wounds containing >105 bacteria/gram of tissue will have a high infection rate and delayed wound healing. It is important to keep the burden low to create the optimal environment for wound healing and wound lavage is the key to ensuring this.

Optimal irrigation pressure needs to be achieved while minimising tissue trauma

Pressures between 8-12psi are recognised as a standard that creates enough pressure to dislodge debris and bacteria without driving contaminants further into the wound. Too low of a pressure becomes ineffective and too high can increase tissue trauma; pressure is crucial.
