Product Description
Stericlens Sterile Saline Spray for Topical Irrigation
Gentle, hygienic wound cleansing without direct contact.
Stericlens Sterile Saline Spray is a convenient wound irrigation solution designed to wash away dirt, debris and loose contaminants from wounds without touching the affected skin.
Containing sterile, preservative-free 0.9% sodium chloride solution, this 100ml aerosol spray provides a practical way to cleanse minor cuts, grazes and wounds during routine first aid or clinical care.
Its narrow directional nozzle helps deliver saline exactly where needed, while the bag-in-can spray system allows application at different angles, including upside down.
Suitable for professional wound care and everyday first-aid use, Stericlens offers straightforward, no-contact cleansing before applying an appropriate wound dressing.

What Does Stericlens Do and How Does It Work?
Stericlens is a sterile saline wound cleansing spray. Its main purpose is to rinse wounds and help remove visible dirt, loose debris and other material that may collect on the wound surface.
The solution contains 0.9% sodium chloride in sterile water. This is known as an isotonic saline solution, meaning its salt concentration is similar to that of normal body fluids.
When sprayed onto a wound, the flow of saline helps physically wash away unwanted material. The narrow nozzle directs the solution across the affected area, allowing cleansing without rubbing or unnecessary contact with delicate tissue.
The bag-in-can delivery system separates the saline from the compressed propellant. This allows controlled multidose spraying while helping the unused solution remain sterile within the canister during its shelf life, provided the product is handled and stored correctly.
Important distinction: Stericlens cleanses wounds through physical irrigation. It is not an antiseptic, antibiotic or disinfectant, and does not replace appropriate medical treatment for infected or serious wounds.
Common Problems Stericlens May Help With
Dirt and Debris in Minor Wounds
Small cuts and grazes can collect dust, dirt and other loose material. Sterile saline irrigation helps remove this debris before a suitable dressing is applied.
Uncomfortable Wound Cleaning
Rubbing a wound can be uncomfortable and may disturb delicate tissue. A directed saline spray provides a non-contact method of cleansing.
Wound Cleansing During Dressing Changes
Where wound irrigation forms part of a care plan, Stericlens can help rinse loose debris from the wound surface before redressing.
Difficult-to-Reach Treatment Areas
Cleaning around toes, feet and other awkward areas can be challenging. The directional spray and flexible can positioning make application easier without direct nozzle contact.
Applications and Suitability
Stericlens is intended for topical wound cleansing and irrigation in professional and everyday first-aid settings.
- Podiatry clinics: Wound cleansing during appropriate foot-care treatments and clinician-directed dressing procedures.
- Healthcare and treatment rooms: Routine irrigation of wounds where sterile saline cleansing is indicated.
- First aid: Cleaning minor cuts, grazes and superficial abrasions.

Who May Need a Different Product or Additional Care?
Stericlens is designed for wound irrigation, not for treating every type of wound or injury.
- Eye injuries or eye cleansing: Do not spray near or into the eyes. Use a product specifically intended for eye irrigation instead.
- Deep, serious or heavily bleeding wounds: These require appropriate medical assessment rather than relying on saline cleansing alone.
- Suspected wound infection: Increasing redness, swelling, warmth, discharge or pain should be assessed by a healthcare professional.
- Diabetic foot ulcers or wounds with impaired circulation: These require professional wound assessment and an appropriate treatment plan.
- Injection or internal irrigation: This aerosol product is for external use and must not be injected or used internally.

How to Use Stericlens Sterile Saline Spray
- Prepare the area. Wash and dry your hands and follow appropriate wound-care hygiene procedures. Check the canister and expiry date before use.
- Remove the protective cap. Ensure the spray nozzle is clean and unobstructed. Do not allow the nozzle to touch the wound.
- Prime the nozzle. Before application, discharge a small amount of saline through the nozzle away from the wound.
- Position the can. Hold the nozzle approximately 10–20cm from the area requiring cleansing.
- Irrigate the wound. Spray across the affected area to rinse away loose dirt and debris. Avoid unnecessary prolonged spraying.
- Complete the wound-care procedure. Allow excess saline to drain away and apply an appropriate dressing where required, following the wound-care instructions provided.
- Replace the cap. Keep the nozzle protected between uses and store the canister away from excessive heat and direct sunlight.
Practical tip: Stericlens can be sprayed while held upside down, which may be helpful when irrigating awkward areas around the foot or lower limb. Always maintain a suitable distance from the treatment area and avoid direct nozzle contact.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Stericlens Sterile Saline Spray used for?
Stericlens is used for topical wound irrigation and cleansing. It helps wash away loose dirt, debris and other material from wounds without the spray nozzle directly touching the skin. It is suitable for routine first aid and appropriate clinical wound-care procedures.
How does Stericlens work?
Stericlens uses a narrow spray nozzle to direct sterile saline across a wound. The flow of saline physically rinses away loose debris, while the bag-in-can system allows spraying from different angles without mixing the saline with the propellant.
Is Stericlens an antiseptic or disinfectant?
No. Stericlens is a sterile saline irrigation solution, not an antiseptic or disinfectant. It helps cleanse wounds through physical rinsing rather than chemically killing microorganisms. It should not replace treatment for an infected wound.
Can Stericlens be used on cuts and grazes?
Yes, Stericlens can be used to irrigate suitable minor cuts, grazes and superficial wounds. The saline helps rinse away loose dirt before the area is protected with an appropriate dressing if needed. Deep, heavily bleeding or infected wounds require medical assessment.
Can Stericlens Sterile Saline Spray be used in the eyes?
No. Stericlens aerosol spray should not be directed near or into the eyes, even though it contains sterile saline. Eye irrigation requires a product specifically intended for that purpose and appropriate medical advice where an eye injury has occurred.
Why does Stericlens contain 0.9% saline?
A 0.9% sodium chloride solution is known as isotonic saline because its salt concentration is similar to that of normal body fluids. It is commonly used for wound irrigation because it provides a straightforward way to rinse tissue without added antiseptics or preservatives.
How far away should I hold the spray?
Hold the nozzle approximately 10–20cm from the wound and direct the saline across the area requiring cleansing. Avoid touching the wound with the nozzle, and follow any specific instructions printed on the product packaging.
Can Stericlens be sprayed upside down?
Yes. The bag-in-can delivery system allows Stericlens to operate at different angles, including upside down. This can be useful when cleansing hard-to-reach treatment areas, such as around the feet and toes.
Can the same Stericlens can be used more than once?
Yes, Stericlens is supplied in a multidose aerosol can designed for repeated applications. Replace the protective cap after use, avoid contaminating the nozzle and follow the stated expiry and storage instructions.
Is Stericlens suitable for podiatry and home first aid?
Yes. Stericlens is a practical option for podiatrists, healthcare professionals and individuals requiring suitable wound irrigation. It can be kept with clinical or home first-aid supplies, but complex wounds and diabetic foot problems should be managed according to professional advice.
