märkäruisku

Märkäruisku is a Finnish term that translates literally to "wet syringe." It generally refers to the process of injecting a substance directly into a wound or body cavity, often to clean or treat it. This method is typically employed in medical contexts, such as in veterinary medicine or during emergency first aid situations.

The purpose of a märkäruisku can vary. In wound care, it might involve flushing out debris, pus, or bacteria with a saline solution or antiseptic. This can help prevent infection and promote healing. In some instances, medications might be administered directly into an infected area to achieve a concentrated effect.

While the term might sound alarming, the procedure itself is a recognized medical technique. It is usually performed by trained professionals who understand the appropriate solutions and techniques to use. The "wet" aspect emphasizes the liquid nature of the substance being injected, differentiating it from dry powder injections. The effectiveness and necessity of a märkäruisku depend entirely on the specific medical situation and the judgment of the healthcare provider.
