Abstract
A wound irrigation system includes a first fluid including an ion rich compound having free available ions; and a second fluid including an oxidation-reduction potential increasing compound, the second fluid housed separately from the first fluid. Mixing the first and second fluids in a charging area forms an ionically charged fluid with an oxidation-reduction potential higher than a wound site oxidation-potential. The ionically charged fluid increases antimicrobial activity of the wound upon application.
Claims12
A method for irrigating a wound, the method comprising:
- keeping a first fluid separate from a second fluid in a container, the first fluid including an ion rich compound having free available ions, and the second fluid including an oxidation-reduction potential increasing compound;
- keeping a third fluid having antiseptic and/or antibiotic properties separate from the first and second fluids in the container;
- mixing the first fluid with the second fluid in a fluid charging portion of the container;
- mixing the third fluid in the fluid charging portion with the first and second fluids to form an ionically charged fluid;
- and
- applying the ionically charged fluid to the wound to increase antimicrobial activity at the wound.

A wound irrigation system comprising:
- a first fluid including an ion rich compound having free available ions;
- a second fluid including an oxidation-reduction potential increasing compound, the second fluid housed separately from the first fluid, and
- a third fluid housed separate from the first and second fluids and including an antiseptic compound, antibiotic compound, a vitamin-rich compound, a protein, or a mixture thereof,
- wherein mixing the first, second, and third fluids in a charging area forms an ionically charged fluid with an oxidation-reduction potential higher than a wound site oxidation-potential, and wherein the ionically charged fluid increases the wound site oxidation-potential upon application.
