What if a simple irrigation device could impact your patient’s care?
Irrigation can mechanically remove debris and bacterial contaminants. As part of proper wound management, the reduction of bioburden, gives wounds a better chance to heal.2
Irrisept is a self-contained jet lavage delivering low-pressure irrigation. It contains Chlorhexidine Gluconate (CHG), a preservative, to offer broad spectrum activity against various microorganisms in the bottled solution.3
Irrisept is intended for mechanical cleansing and removal of debris, dirt, and foreign materials, including microorganisms from wounds.
Do not use this product if the patient is allergic to chlorhexidine gluconate. Discontinue use immediately if irritation, sensitization, or allergic reaction occurs.
For full product details, refer to product labeling.
Where can Irrisept make a difference?
Irrisept Antimicrobial Wound Lavage can be used across the continuum of care in a variety of healthcare settings.
Pre-Hospital & Field Care
Use Irrisept as a frontline defense to cleanse and remove debris from wounds before hospital treatment, in pre-hospital healthcare settings.
Acute Wound Care
For all types of wounds. Trusted by over 4,000 U.S. hospitals for their irrigation needs.14
Post-Acute Wound Care
Use Irrisept for wound care and cleansing in post-acute settings, such as outpatient clinics, skilled nursing facilities, and other settings where care by a physician is given.
Why Irrisept?
- 0.05% CHG, the right concentration
Irrisept provides low concentration CHG in 99.95% Sterile Water for Irrigation, USP. At this concentration, CHG is non-cytotoxic while demonstrating effectiveness as a preservative against a variety of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, fungi, and some viruses in the bottled solution.3-4 - Irrigation with pressure
Irrisept can deliver low-pressure irrigation through manual compression or spikeable/instillable connections with powered irrigation devices. Low-pressure irrigation is recommended by both the American College of Surgeons (ACS) and the International Wound Infection Institute (IWII).15-16 It is intended for mechanical cleansing and removal of debris, dirt and foreign materials including microorganisms from wounds. - Backed by testing and independent research
Irrisept has undergone extensive testing, including 3rd party research, and is referenced by name and/or concentration in many independent publications.3-13 - A safety profile like no other
Irrisept is non-cytotoxic and features extensive safety testing, including in-vivo and in-vitro studies and RCT data.3-5 - Designed with ease of use in mind
Designed with ease of use in mind: Irrisept is available in multiple sizes and configurations and can be delivered by the method of your choosing. Shipped ready to open and use-no mixing or diluting required.
