A simple, effective and cheap device for the safe irrigation of open traumatic wounds
Emergency Medicine Journal, 04/23/09
Stevens RJG et al. - This study reports the use of an overturned plastic gallipot from a sterile wound dressing pack as a splashguard during the irrigation of traumatic wounds with a device consisting of a 20 ml syringe and a 21F gauge hypodermic needle. This simple, effective and cheap device can be constructed from items readily available within the emergency department or operating theatre and minimises exposure to biologically hazardous material during wound irrigation.
