How Irigin works
Irigin is a sterile, nonpyrogenic aqueous solution. It is a neutral and clear solution that helps to provide a high degree of visibility during urological (bladder, prostate, and urethra) surgeries and makes it easier for the surgeon to operate. Its action as a lavage (cleansing solution) helps to remove blood and tissue fragments from the surgical field. Post surgery it also prevents any blockage of the catheter.
