Sodium Chloride for Injection, IV Bags, Inhalation & Irrigation

FDA-Approved Sodium Chloride Solutions for Injection, IV Therapy, Inhalation, Wound Irrigation & Comprehensive Hospital Care

Sodium Chloride (NaCl) is the universally trusted, FDA-approved saline solution essential for IV therapy, injection preparation, respiratory inhalation, wound irrigation, and hospital/clinical use. Used by hospitals, surgery centers, clinics, pharmacies, and home care providers, sodium chloride solutions ensure safe, sterile hydration, medication delivery, respiratory relief, and wound cleaning for adult, pediatric, and neonatal care.

Purpose

• IV Therapy & Fluid Replacement: Restores and maintains fluid/electrolyte balance in dehydration, shock, surgery, and trauma.
• Medication Diluent: Safely dilutes and prepares injectable medications, antibiotics, and biologics for IV, IM, or SubQ administration.
• Wound Irrigation: Sterile cleaning and flushing of wounds, burns, surgical incisions, and catheters to prevent infection.
• Respiratory Inhalation: Used in nebulizer solutions for asthma, COPD, cystic fibrosis, bronchitis, and sinus therapy.
• Medical Device Flushing: Clean, flush, and prime IV catheters, central lines, and medical tubing.

Uses

• Intravenous Hydration: For dehydration, blood loss, heat exhaustion, electrolyte disturbance, and surgical/post-op support.
• IV Medication Infusion: As a vehicle for antibiotics, chemotherapy, pain meds, and specialty drugs.
• Wound & Burn Care: Irrigation of traumatic wounds, burns, and surgical sites.
• Respiratory Support: Nebulized saline for airway clearance, mucus thinning, or humidification.
• Catheter Care: Flushing central and peripheral lines to prevent occlusion and infection.
• Labor & Delivery: IV fluids for hydration and medication delivery during pregnancy and childbirth.
• First Aid & Home Medical Use: Rapid hydration, oral or nasal irrigation, and contact lens solution (if labeled for ophthalmic use).
