Saline "Bullet" Multi-Use

Many parents receive bulk quantities of saline "bullets" (hypertonic saline) per month from their durable medical equipment (DME) supplier to be used for suctioning assistance in kiddos with tracheostomy tubes.  But did you know that Saline Bullets can also be used for the following:

- Contact Lenses Storage and Cleaning
- Healing Wound Wash
- Sterile Rinse for Stoma sites, i.e. gtubes, colostomy, tracheostomy, etc.
- Eye Drops or Eye Rinse
- A nebulized solution to break up thick lung secretions
- Blood Stop (refrigerate saline and droplet on small cuts/scratches to inhibit bleeding)
- Neti Pot Use
- Pet Care (eye, nose, ear drops, wound wash)
