Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
The published study has looked into tap water which may not be equivalent to drinking water in our setup, therefore the investigators are looking into drinking water that is bacteriologically safe. Out of published RCTs there is only one done in acute traumatic wound with good sample size and study design. This study is purposed to look into acute traumatic wound with proper randomization, allocation and concealment. Moreover, this is a non-inferiority trial, therefore if it is proven that drinking water is non-inferior to normal saline then, it will be easily available modality of wound irrigation in Low-Middle-Income country like Nepal.

Irrigating Traumatic Wound with Drinking Water
In drinking water arm, acute traumatic wound will be cleaned with drinking water. Bacteriological safety of the drinking water will be ensured by testing water.
