Product overview

Inventory ID: 936-1499AA

0.9% sodium chloride injection is a sterile isotonic solution commonly used across dental and medical settings for irrigation, dilution, and procedural support. The 500 mL container provides a practical volume for routine clinical use without excessive waste. This Complete Buyer's Guide helps you understand how this normal saline solution fits into daily workflows and supports safe, efficient patient care.

What makes this product stand out?

This 0.9% sodium chloride injection offers a reliable, physiologically compatible isotonic solution suitable for a wide range of chairside and clinical tasks. Its consistent formulation and ready-to-use format simplify preparation while supporting predictable outcomes.

Key advantages include:

  • Isotonic formulation supports tissue compatibility and gentle irrigation
  • Sterile, nonpyrogenic solution meets USP clinical standards for procedural use
  • 500 mL volume balances an adequate supply with manageable handling
  • Versatile use supports multiple dental, surgical, and medical applications
  • Ready-to-use container saves preparation time and reduces contamination risk

What is this product made of?

This solution contains sodium chloride 0.9% (9 g/L) dissolved in sterile water for injection. The isotonic concentration (308 mOsmol/L) closely matches the osmolarity of body fluids, making it suitable for irrigation and dilution where tissue compatibility is important.

At-a-glance comparison:

  • Isotonic saline vs. sterile water: improved tissue tolerance and reduced irritation
  • 500 mL container vs. smaller volumes: fewer interruptions during procedures

The formulation benefits clinicians by providing a dependable, gentle solution that integrates easily into routine clinical care and surgical irrigation.

What is it used for?

0.9% sodium chloride injection (normal saline) is intended for irrigation, flushing, and dilution in dental and medical procedures. It supports clean operative fields and safe preparation of compatible materials when indicated.

Common applications include:

  • Irrigation during dental and oral surgical procedures
  • Root canal irrigation and endodontic procedures
  • Wound cleansing and operative site irrigation
  • Flushing catheters, drainage tubes, or operative sites as directed
  • Dilution of compatible medications following instructions
  • Third molar extraction and bone surgery irrigation

Why you'll appreciate this product

0.9% sodium chloride injection supports reliable clinical workflows while maintaining patient safety and tissue compatibility.

For your work:

  • Gentle isotonic irrigation supports clean operative fields
  • Ready-to-use sterile format reduces setup time and preparation
  • Consistent USP formulation supports predictable handling
  • Adequate 500 mL volume minimizes interruptions mid-procedure

For your practice:

  • Versatile normal saline solution reduces the need for multiple fluid types
  • Standardized isotonic saline supports consistent protocols
  • Manageable container size aids storage and inventory control
  • Dependable sterile supply supports routine and emergency surgical use

Together, these benefits help maintain efficient procedures and high standards of care.

Sizing & selection

Selecting the appropriate saline solution ensures efficiency, safety, and minimal waste.

Volume selection:

A 500 mL container is ideal for procedures requiring repeated irrigation, extended surgical use, or multiple applications without opening additional units.

Sterility requirements:

Choose sterile sodium chloride injection USP when procedures involve open tissues or surgical sites or require aseptic conditions for irrigation.

Container handling:

Mid-size 500 mL containers are easier to handle chairside while still providing ample volume for common dental and surgical procedures.

Intended application:

Always match the solution type and container size to the specific clinical indication, protocol, and procedure requirements.

This 500 mL isotonic normal saline option provides a practical balance for everyday clinical needs.

Additional solutions and supplies may complement your clinical setup.

  • Smaller-volume saline containers (250 mL) for limited procedures
  • Larger-volume bottles (1000 mL) for extended surgical cases
  • Sterile water for injection for specific dilution needs
  • Irrigation syringes, tubing, and wound care supplies
  • Surgical support supplies for oral surgery procedures

Matching solution types and volumes to procedures and operatories helps maintain efficient workflows.

Care & storage

Proper storage and handling ensure solution integrity and patient safety.

  • Store at controlled room temperature
  • Inspect the container for leaks, damage, or cloudiness before use
  • Use aseptic technique when opening and dispensing
  • Discard unused portion according to facility protocol and local regulations.
Frequently asked questions
  1. Can I use this solution for irrigation during dental procedures?Yes. You can use 0.9% sodium chloride injection for irrigation when sterile, isotonic fluid is indicated for dental and surgical procedures.
  2. Is this the same as normal saline?Yes. 0.9% sodium chloride solution is commonly referred to as normal saline or physiological saline.
  3. Is this solution intended for injection by patients?It is labeled as an injection solution for professional use. Use should always follow clinical guidelines and licensed professional direction.
  4. What should I do if the solution looks cloudy or the container is damaged?Do not use it. Discard the container and replace it with an intact, clear solution to maintain sterility.
  5. How long can I store an opened container?Once opened, follow your facility's protocol. Many settings require disposal after single use to maintain sterility and prevent contamination.
