Saline solution is a sterile saltwater solution (typically 0.9% sodium chloride) used for cleaning, irrigation, and respiratory care. It is commonly used to rinse wounds, flush medical devices, and support nebulizer treatments.
Because saline closely matches the body’s natural fluid balance, it is gentle on tissues and suitable for a wide range of applications. It is frequently used in wound care, catheter irrigation, and inhalation therapy depending on the product type and labeling.
