Can the Morgan Lens be used to treat contamination from blood or bodily fluids?
Yes. Any exposure involving mucous membranes is considered “significant” and immediate irrigation is required. Experts recommend no less than 20 to 30 minutes of continual irrigation with water or saline (although we suggest using Lactated Ringer’s to improve patient comfort), starting as soon as possible after the exposure. Treatment should not be delayed to determine whether or not the patient has an infectious disease. Appropriate prophylactic regimens should be started promptly as well.
