“…The ideal irrigation solution should not only have a good sterilization effect but also have the characteristics of low concentration, good stability, low irritation, low cost, safety, and so on ( Chen et al, 2021 ). Various irrigation solutions are currently being used, for example, sterile saline solution was the most frequently used fluid ( Trevillion, 2008 ), followed by povidone-iodine ( Martin et al, 2022 ), chlorhexidine ( Willigenburg et al, 2023 ), hydrogen peroxide ( Mohammadi et al, 2013 ), and antibiotic solutions ( Siafaka et al, 2016 ; Ameeduzzafar et al, 2018 ). However, considering that the antibacterial properties of these irrigation solutions were mostly evaluated using Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus ( Zhou et al, 2017 ; Aubert-Viard et al, 2019 ), which was different from the microbiota composition of the seawater immersion wound, common medical irrigations have little effect when the affected area is immersed in seawater, and rarely, irrigations have been reported for the treatment of seawater-immersed wounds.…”
