A concentrated formulation designed for creating a rinsing liquid for ocular irrigation. This preparation requires dilution with water to achieve the appropriate isotonicity and pH balance suitable for safely flushing contaminants from the eyes. For instance, a specified volume of the concentrate might be mixed with distilled water to yield a larger quantity of ready-to-use eye wash solution.
The use of this concentrated form offers numerous advantages, including reduced storage space requirements and lower shipping costs compared to pre-mixed solutions. Furthermore, it extends shelf life prior to dilution, ensuring the availability of a sterile and effective rinsing agent when needed. Historically, concentrated forms of various solutions have been favored for their practicality in situations where logistical constraints are present, such as in remote field operations or on emergency response vehicles.
