In traditional wound care, clinicians use a syringe with splash cap, whose “fill-and-flush” method is time consuming and does not achieve constant fluid flow under effective pressure. This lack of adequate pressure may allow organic and non-organic debris or biofilm adhesion to remain, leading to potential infection risk.
Centurion Medical Products, a leader in medical product innovation and global patient care, is making a major stride in emergency room acute wound management with the launch of its IRIG-8™Wound Irrigation System.
IRIG-8’s sterile, disposable system enables clinicians to quickly deliver copious volumes of irrigation solution to acute wounds with customizable, constant, effective pressure, which standard bottle splash guards and fill-and-flush syringe methods cannot achieve.
The IRIG-8 Wound Irrigation System is designed to:
-
Quickly deliver high volumes of irrigant — one liter in less than 60 seconds
-
Achieve adjustable, quantitative, and dependable pressure at an optimal 8-12 psi
-
Decrease bacterial load by 14% compared to the traditional splash cap method in an American Journal of Emergency Medicine study
-
Connect to any style oxygen or medical air outlet flowmeter
-
Alleviate clinician fatigue with comfortable, one-handed use
