The 0.9% NaCl solution is isotonic and gentle on tissues, so it can be used both for the eyes and for superficial wounds. It is a rinsing liquid, not a disinfectant. Shelf life is up to 3.5 years, in line with the expiry date on the label.
How to use the eye and wound wash
Open the bottle in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. Place the DUO nozzle against the eyes or direct the stream of liquid onto the wound. Rinse until the contaminants are removed or until medical help is obtained. In case of contact with a chemical substance, do not delay and start rinsing immediately. For such situations, a pH Neutral 4.9% buffer solution is intended, followed by further rinsing with 0.9% NaCl liquid.
Before you start rinsing, make sure the place is safe for you and the casualty, and in more serious cases call for help on 999 or 112. How to do this efficiently is described in the article Emergency number 112 and calling for help.
