Abstract
- The article reviews literature about the use of tap water as an alternative to normal saline for wound cleansing. The literature analyzed here does not give a definitive answer on the issue at hand. It is recommended that further controlled and comparative studies be conducted to determine whether tap water negatively affects the physiological function of human cells.
