Aero Saline Solution is a 15ml single-use ampoule of sterile 0.9% sodium chloride, kept in site first aid kits for flushing debris from eyes and wounds. Powerpac sells it individually rather than only by the carton.
Construction sites produce the contaminants that end up in someone's eye. Concrete and cement dust, grinding swarf, timber splinters and dirt in an open cut. Cement, lime and mortar are strongly alkaline, so eye contamination on a concrete site is not a minor event.
Sterile 0.9% sodium chloride is isotonic, and first aid guidance prefers it to tap water where it is available because it carries no particles of its own. The ampoule twists open with one hand, which matters when the person using it has one eye shut. Each ampoule stays sealed until it is opened and is discarded after a single use.
Site managers, health and safety officers and site first aiders across New Zealand buy 15ml saline ampoules, also called eye wash ampoules, to stock and restock first aid kits.

About Aero Saline Solution 15ml ampoule
No. A 15ml ampoule of Aero Saline Solution is for immediate first response and for rinsing small debris. First aid guidance for a chemical splash, including cement, lime and mortar, calls for continuous irrigation for at least 15 minutes, which needs an eyewash station or a running water supply. Keep the Powerpac Eyewash Kit (2 x 500ml) on site wherever alkaline materials are handled, and follow your site's first aid procedure.
Yes. On most New Zealand sites the terms are used interchangeably. Aero Saline Solution 15ml is a sterile 0.9% sodium chloride ampoule, which is what people mean when they ask for eye wash ampoules or saline pods for a first aid kit.
Clean running water is acceptable for immediate irrigation and should never be delayed while someone looks for saline. Sterile 0.9% saline is preferred where it is to hand because it is isotonic and carries no particles of its own. For anything more than minor debris, get the person to an eyewash station or running water and seek medical advice.
Powerpac sells Aero Saline Solution 15ml individually under SKU SJ295A. A 30 pack is available under A295A for kitting out multiple first aid stations at once. Buying singly suits topping up a kit after one has been used.
No. Aero Saline Solution ampoules are single use. Once the top is twisted off the solution is no longer sterile and the ampoule should be discarded, even if some is left. That is the reason first aid kits carry several small ampoules rather than one large bottle.
Yes. Sterile saline ampoules carry a printed expiry date and should be checked whenever a first aid kit is audited.
Volume only. Both are sterile 0.9% sodium chloride. The 15ml ampoule is the size most commonly listed in workplace first aid kit contents and fits standard kit compartments. Powerpac also stocks a 30ml ampoule under A135, supplied in a box of 20, where a larger single-use volume is wanted.
WorkSafe expects every workplace to assess its own risks and provide first aid resources that match the work, rather than working to a fixed list. Sites handling cement, concrete or other alkaline materials carry more saline than a low-risk workplace, and also need dedicated eyewash equipment where workers could be splashed.
