Surgical/medical procedure irrigation fluid refers to a sterile solution, most commonly saline, designed to flush and clean anatomical sites during medical or surgical interventions. It is used to remove debris, blood, or contaminants from areas such as the eye during ophthalmic surgery or the middle ear in ENT procedures to maintain visibility and reduce infection risk.
These fluids are intended for single use only and are not reusable after application. They may be supplied in prefilled syringes or other sterile containers and are regulated as medical devices based on their intended use for irrigation during clinical procedures, with classification determined by jurisdiction-specific rules.
