ispranavanje

Ispranavanje is a term used in some Slavic languages, including Croatian and Serbian, to describe the act of flushing or rinsing out something, typically a body cavity or a wound. It refers to the process of introducing a liquid, such as water, saline solution, or a medicinal preparation, into an area to cleanse it of debris, infection, or other foreign matter.

The procedure can be performed for various medical and non-medical purposes. In healthcare, ispranavanje is a common practice in wound care to remove dead tissue, bacteria, and pus, promoting healing and preventing infection. It is also used in dentistry to clean the oral cavity, particularly after surgical procedures or in cases of infection. Other medical applications include flushing out the bladder or stomach.

Beyond medical contexts, the term can also be used in a more general sense to describe rinsing out containers or other objects. The specific liquid used and the method of application depend on the intended purpose. The goal is always to achieve a thorough cleansing of the targeted area. The term is derived from the verb "isprati," which means to wash out or rinse.
