Reliwash Saline Eye Wash is a sterile, non-toxic solution used for the immediate cleansing of eyes and skin. It comes in a 500ml bottle and is a common first-aid item, especially in workplace and home settings.
What It's Used For:
The primary use of Reliwash Saline Eye Wash is for first-aid treatment of eye injuries. It's an isotonic solution, meaning it has the same salt concentration as tears and other body fluids, making it gentle and safe to use. You can use it to:
Flush out foreign bodies: It's effective for removing dirt, dust, metal or wood splinters, and other small particles from the eye.
Rinse away chemicals: The solution can help flush out mild chemicals, such as oil or solvents, that have entered the eye.
Soothe irritation: It can provide relief from stinging, redness, and discomfort caused by irritants.
Wash minor wounds: In addition to eye care, the solution can also be used to irrigate and cleanse minor wounds.
Key Features:
Sterile and Safe: The solution is made with 0.9% w/v sodium chloride, which is a sterile, safe, and non-toxic formula.
Twist-Seal Cap: The bottle features a twist-seal cap, which helps prevent leakage and keeps the contents sterile until opened.
Easy to Use: The bottle's design makes it easy to squeeze and provides a controlled stream for effective irrigation. Some versions even have a dedicated eyecup for easier application.
Storage Conditions:5-35°C
Directions for Use:
Open the bottle: Twist the cap to break the seal.
Position the head: Tilt the casualty's head so the affected eye is lower than the other.
Irrigate the eye: Pour the solution from the inner corner of the eye outward. You should continue rinsing for at least 10 seconds at a time.
Blink: Allow the person to blink in between rinses to help flush out the irritant.
