Saving costs and enhancing patient care: a solution's solution.
1. Although less than 150 mL of a 500 mL bottle of irrigating solution is typically used, it is not safe to respike the solution for another patient. 2. Presterilized, disposable, multi-use dispensing systems have been used for years to compound IV solutions; the same principle can now be used for irrigating solutions. 3. The Multi-Spike device can continuously deliver irrigation solution through three sterile ports after initial spiking of the solution bottle safely and at a lowered cost.
