Normal saline for irrigation is typically not sterile enough for injection purposes and may contain higher levels of impurities than saline specifically formulated for injection. While both are composed of sodium chloride and water, injection-grade saline undergoes stricter sterilization processes and quality control. Using irrigation saline for injection can pose risks, including infection or adverse reactions. It's essential to use the appropriate saline product for its intended medical use.
