Sterile 0.9% saline is an isotonic salt solution used for cleaning, irrigation, and respiratory applications. Its salt concentration closely matches the body’s natural fluids, making it gentle on tissues.
It is commonly used for wound cleansing, flushing medical devices, and supporting nebulizer treatments depending on the product labeling. Because it is sterile and balanced, it is widely used in both clinical and home care settings where a safe, non-irritating solution is needed.
