wound wash
Cut cleaning solution
Wound wash is a saline solution used to clean cuts, scrapes, and other minor injuries.
It flushes away debris and bacteria without the sting of alcohol-based antiseptics.
The nurse used wound wash to irrigate the laceration before bandaging it.
Available over the counter in squeeze bottles or aerosol cans.
