New Saljet Saline Vials Offer Ultra-portable Solution For Military Wound Cleaning Applications

July 15, 2010 - PRLog -- Military planners looking for a way to improve the health of their troops and control costs can now do so with Saljet saline vials. These convenient, easy-to-use, unit dose, disposable 30ml vials of sterile saline fit perfectly in a field pack and allow soldiers in the field to quickly and effectively clean wounds without cumbersome large saline bottles and needles.

“When a soldier is on a battlefield or away from base, a dirty wound can quickly turn into a major medical problem,” says Howard Rose, CEO of Winchester Laboratories, maker of Saljet. “Large bottles of saline are not practical for field use. However a Saljet vial easily fits into a field kit or pocket and provides thorough wound cleansing that reduces infection rates and can keep the soldiers moving.”

Each Saljet vial contains 30ml of sterile saline that with a quick twist of the top is opened and then squeezed to deliver a steady stream at the correct pressure to cleanse the wound.  When finished, the vial is simply disposed of.

“In addition, Saljet is less expensive than any other procedure when using saline in caring for a healing wound. Saljet’s portability, flexibility and cost make it the ultimate wound cleansing system for today’s modern military.”
