Pressures of Wilderness Improvised Wound Irrigation Techniques: How Do They Compare?

Conclusions Pressures are consistent with those previously reported. All systems using compressible water bottles and all syringe-based systems provided pressures at or exceeding a commercial wound irrigation device. A 14-ga punctured plastic bag and bladder-style hydration pack failed to generate similar irrigation pressures.
