Description
The Bionix Igloo Wound Irrigation Shields protect staff during wound cleansing by preventing the splashing of blood-borne pathogens, while directing effluent away from the wound. Each sterile shield is individually wrapped and transparent, so the wound stays visible through the whole irrigation.
- Sterile and wrapped – each shield is sterile in its own chevron pouch
- Clear dome – the wound stays visible during irrigation
- Luer ready – fits standard luer slip and luer lock setups
Splash Protection with a Clear View
The shields are indicated for general cleansing of wound sites in patients of all ages. The dome contains irrigation splash, which protects the clinician from blood-borne pathogen exposure and reduces cross-contamination risk because each shield is single-use. The transparent material keeps the wound in clear view while fluid is running, so cleansing can be thorough without lifting the shield. Effluent is directed away from the wound rather than pooling around it. The shields connect to standard luer slip and luer lock connections and to irrigation devices with a male luer lock fitting. They are not indicated for deep or puncture wounds.

Why Clinicians Irrigate Under an Igloo
Wound irrigation protects the patient, but unshielded irrigation exposes the clinician. The Igloo turns a splash-prone rinse into a contained, visible procedure for whoever is holding the syringe.
- Exposure control – contained splash lowers blood-borne pathogen risk for staff
- Thorough cleansing – a clear dome lets clinicians irrigate fully without losing sight of the wound
- Faster room turnover – single use sterile shields skip reprocessing entirely
- Universal fit – standard luer connections work with the irrigation setups already in the room
