The in the title quote was originally used in environmental and industrial post-WW2 industries to explain how dumping of waste and chemicals would ok as long as they were sufficiently diluted. In other words, toxins are less toxic in lower concentrations. One of the orthopedic consultants today quoted the same quote in regards to wound management and I got a flashback to those high school geography lessons, but he has a point!
"The Solution To Pollution Is Dilution"
Quite simply in the wound management the more you clean a wound the cleaner it will be. Each wash will wash away some of the bacteria and dirty material. So when cleaning a wound with saline or other sterile liquids remember this! Its a simple concept, but very effective.
