A question for our Medical people:

Can you use eye-wash (normally used for cleaning contact lenses) to irrigate a wound?

It's sterile, but I figured there are some substanses in it that are good for cleaning lenses, but injures tissue further if it gets into a wound.

Should it only be a ''I haven't got anything but this, so I use this''-solution, or is it a acceptable way to clean a wound?
