Wound irrigation devices and methods for delivering synergistic active agents

Abstract

Inexpensive and highly effective methods and devices for convenient and effective wound irrigation are described herein. The synergistic combination of two or more antiseptic agents reduces contact time, enhances antimicrobial effects, and reduces the likelihood of allergy and other side effects from the antiseptic agents in subjects. In one embodiment, devices include a discharge means for a reservoir housing containing irrigation solution wherein the discharge means has one or more specifically designed nozzles through which a sufficient volume of the irrigation solution can pass at an appropriate pressure.
