title: Wound irrigation techniques: new Steripod normal saline.
abstract: Wound cleansing is performed on a regular basis by many healthcare professionals. However, the modern concept of cleansing has not always been a priority in wound management. There are many questions which challenge those responsible for cleaning wounds such as how often a wound should be cleaned and which techniques should be used. This article begins with a brief guide to wound cleansing and then focuses on the new Steripod normal saline produced by SSL International.
