Sterile saline solution

When I first saw the item I thought it was I. V. Fluid.

But, in a dental application, it is, of course "Saline Solution" except that one should add "Sterile" (Steril) since otherwise it could just be salt disolved in water - and it isn't!

saline solution

Stedman's Concise Medical Dictionary: saline Solution: isotonic or physiologic sodium chloride solution; 0.9g/ml water.
