Prepackaged collections of the devices and supplies (either custom or standard) designed for the liquid cleansing of wounds. Items in these kits usually include a needleless bulb or plunger syringe, a container, waterproof drape, and an alcohol prep pad. The syringe used for irrigation in the kit may be also used for aspiration (i.e., removal) of the wound irrigating fluid and/or debris. These kits may be supplied in supporting trays (i.e., procedure trays) consisting of a flat-bottomed receptacle with a border around the periphery supporting all the instruments and supplies needed for the procedure; the trays are usually covered or wrapped. Wound irrigation kits and trays are intended for therapeutic treatment (e.g., cleansing and debridement) of wounds, including ulcers and surgical wounds.
