Used for irrigating and cleansing wounds, burns, and surgical sites; washing out body cavities during urological, gynecological, and other surgical procedures; and providing moisture during ophthalmic procedures.

As a mechanical irrigation solution, Tis-U-Sol physically flushes debris, bacteria, and loose tissue from surfaces. Its electrolyte composition helps maintain tissue compatibility and prevents excessive cell damage during flushing procedures.

For external use only - not for injection or intravenous administration. Should be used at room temperature unless otherwise directed. Discard any unused portion after opening to prevent contamination. Patients with electrolyte imbalances should use with caution under medical supervision.
