Why sterility and consistency matter in surgical irrigation

Surgical wound irrigation is an important part of infection risk reduction. While back table PVP-I irrigation solution mixing is common practice, it can introduce variability that may compromise both sterility and consistency.

Not all irrigation solutions are created equal.

All in one squeeze

The Surgiphor™ Surgical Wound Irrigation System combines mechanical debris removal with PVP-I-powered antimicrobial activity in a terminally sterile, ready-to-use system—supporting optimal patient outcomes with every flush.

Terminally sterile

  • Terminally sterilized solution with a sterility assurance level (SAL) of 10-6, providing confidence that the product has one in a million chance of containing a single viable microorganism1
  • Provides confidence of sterility and minimal risk of intrinsic and extrinsic contamination.


Uncompromised quality

  • BD manufacturing process ensures the SurgiphorTM Surgical Wound Irrigation System is made to specifications every time. 
  • Pre-mixed and pre-labelled formulation that requires no mixing prior to use and aids in reducing potential risks associated with formulation variability and related medical errors.


Efficacy you can count on

  • PVP-I is a well-known antiseptic agent with broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity2.
  • 2-4 bacterial log reduction of bacterial load in a simulated infected implant and wound animal model. 
  • Reduces risk of unwanted microbial growth within solution for up to 24 hours after bottle is opened
