open wound management for nurses/technicians
... Bacteria are effectively removed from the wound surface by high-pressure lavage. Traditionally, a 35- or 60-ml syringe and an 18-gauge needle have been thought to generate approximately 7 to 8 psi of pressure; however, it was recently shown that it generates presssures substantially higher than this ...
