What Is an Irrigation Syringe?
An irrigation syringe is a particular type of syringe which is used for irrigation or washing something out. Usually, these syringes are used for washing out wounds or surgical areas in a patient’s body during an operation, but they can be used to irrigate other areas; oral irrigation syringes, for example, are used by dentists to clean around gums and root canals.
Irrigation syringes can vary in terms of size and design, but are all usually quite similar, with a central body that stores the water or irrigation fluid and some sort of pump or plunger at the top to force the liquid out. These syringes also have a narrow spout or tip at the other end, through which the fluid flows.
Irrigation syringes are a useful piece of medical equipment, used by doctors, nurses, surgeons, dentists, and other medical practitioners, as well as the general public in home first aid kits.

How Does an Irrigation Syringe Work?
Irrigation syringes work by squirting fluid (usually saline solution) into or over an area that needs to be washed or cleaned. The user simply needs to ensure that the syringe is full before they start to use it. They can then place it into the correct position and use the plunger or bulb at the end to force water out via the spout. It's important to ensure that the flow of water effectively cleans and washes out dirt, debris, and other materials, rather than pushing them further into the wound or body, so the angle of approach is very important.
Irrigation Syringe Sizes
Like other kinds of syringes, irrigation syringes are available in a range of different sizes. Some may contain just 20 or 30ml of fluid, for example, while others may hold 70ml or even more.
Irrigation Syringe Types
We can divide irrigation syringes into different types. There are bulb irrigation syringes, for example, which feature a bulb at one end that the user can squeeze to control the flow of fluid. There are also standard plunger irrigation syringes that have a plunger to push or pull to control the flow of fluid. There are also specific kinds of irrigation syringes for different purposes, like oral irrigation syringes that are used for dental procedures.
Irrigation Syringe Uses
The main function of an irrigation syringe is to wash and clean areas of the body, which may include open wounds, surgery sites, or other areas. They can also be used to irrigate or flush catheters. These syringes usually contain saline solution to wash away surface dirt and debris and reduce the risk of infection, too.

Integra, Covidien, Medline, and Rusch are some of the top suppliers of irrigation syringes.
